Washington’s cherry blossoms have started to bloom on the first day of Spring, 2022. The National Park Service projects the blooms will be at their peak from March 22 - 25, 2022. Peak bloom is when 70% of the Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) blossoms are open.

I made these photos this morning at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC. It was a beautiful morning. This stage is called “puffy white.” The Tidal Basin is about 107 acres in size and approximately 10 feet deep.
