Cherry Blossom Web Cam

The National Park Service Cherry Blossom Web Cam is in full bloom. Use it to view the seasonal beauty surrounding Washington’s Tidal Basin before the fragile flowers are gone. Due to Global Climate Change, the cherry trees began blooming well before the traditional date of Washington’s biggest annual festival.

Cherry Blossom Web Cam 2010

On March 6th we reported that the National Park Service Cherry Blossom Web Cam was still showing a gray scene from last winter.  A few days later the NPS Tidal Basin web cam site posted the message “Coming Soon!”

Today’s update: April 3, 2010 — the Web Cam page is completely blank and the link has been removed.
