Sorry EU friends, I did not get signed a signed release for this photo. Pray I am never detained for GDPR violations. 
Wouldn’t be a problem, nobody is the subject of the photo or in the foreground. Most of the people have their backs to the camera anyway.
What is with the half woman in the middle of the photo?

It’s a pano from my iPhone so she must have been walking by.
Happy birthday by the way.

The cherry blossoms get all the attention in DC but I loved the Southern Magnolias nearly as much when I was living there. In theory they can grow up here in New England but I don’t think I’ve seen any.

No Magnolias but the Rhododendrons are in full bloom:
Also tried the iPhone’s portrait mode:
Both could probably use a little touch up; the default iPhone algorithm often lacks punch.

I like the first one. If you get close enough to the subject, as you can with these photos of blooms, you get a natural bokeh.
