A boy climbs into a tree to photograph blossoms near the Washington Monument in Washington on Wednesday, March 30. Cold temperatures and cloudy skies have affected the normally colorful Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington this year.

In the blossoms: Boy climbs cherry tree in D.C.

What a scenic moment. This photo reminded me of one of my favorite novels growing up, A Separate Peace.

See more cherry blossoms in our 'Spring in bloom' slideshow.
