D.C.’s well-loved cherry blossoms are blooming in a mosaic of pinks and whites, ushering the start of a new season.
Though several events that are a part of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival have been canceled due to measures to flatten the curve of the coronavirus pandemic, nature perseveres.
In response to a question on social media about social distancing during the outbreak, the National Park Service said that sunrise and early-morning viewings are good ways to avoid crowds.
Instead of heading to the Tidal Basin, you can view the cherry blossoms from your computer screen.
The park service also recommends spreading out to find the blooms around the Tidal Basin, Constitution Gardens and the Washington Monument.
