The Most Stunning Photos Of Cherry Blossoms At The Tidal Basin

WASHINGTON, DC -- Peak bloom has arrived for the Yoshino cherry blossom trees around the Tidal Basin in D.C., and the pictures on Friday have been absolutely stunning.

The National Park Service defines peak bloom as when 70 percent of the Yoshino cherries are at their peak, a period that lasts only a few days, so get out and see them while you can (especially with the possibility of some snow or at least cold temperatures this weekend).

Here are some of the best pictures we've found of the cherry blossoms from Friday:
