Although today is officially the first day of spring, yesterday felt pretty darn spring-like here in the nation’s capital. And with spring come the cherry blossoms (and the tourists!).
I got to spend yesterday in the beautiful warm weather making some pictures of the cherry blossoms in their full glory for The Washington Times.
Here’s a quick taste of the buds, but for more, click here.
On Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012, a day after the U.S. Park Police showed up at the McPherson Square Occupy D.C. encampment in full riot gear to enforce the no camping laws, cleanup is still underway.
According to the Park Police, they went through the encampment Saturday with a doctor from Health and Human Services, who determined which tents were health hazards and needed to come down.

Despite the fact that yesterday was the deadline that U.S. Park Police set for Occupy DC people to remove their camping accoutrements from the McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza sights, tents are still up, people are still Occupying, and all seems as before.
I covered the Freedom Plaza encampment for The Washington Times yesterday, and although police said the enforcement would begin at noon, we never saw any police presence.
