2024.3.24. More cherry blossoms

3/24, Sunday. The sun came out in the afternoon. Went to Arboretum to see more cherry and magnolia trees in bloom. Surprised to see some azalea and rhodies in bloom: too early. A lot of people. A lot of pedals. A very nice day for a walk. Bad traffic around Montlake Bridge.

On the way back, walked to UW's cherry quad. Maybe because of the 5k/10k/Half Marathon Cherry Blossom Run, or maybe because it's free parking on Sunday, I had never seen this many people in UW. Nor had I seen this many "green latrine"s on the Red Square. The ring of the fountain is covered with sitting folks for photos. No Rainier from the Rainier Vista, nor last weekend.

A group with animal costumes were posing for photos. They are very cute, and happy to take pictures with anyone. Festive.
