I originally named this post "The Streets of Georgetown" but then decided to go with "Spring in Georgetown." Does anybody remember "The Streets of San Francisco" that was a weekly drama on television in the 1970's?
A Quinn Martin Production. I had forgotten all about Quinn Martin Productions.
The show starred Karl Malden and Michael Douglas and ran from 1972 - 1977. It was a big hit in our house. I was thirteen years old when it started running and eighteen years old when it stopped. How fun to think back on those days. But we are talking about spring in Georgetown, so back to that.
And look at the beautiful window boxes in front all freshly planted. So beautiful.
Around the corner on 29th Street, this beautiful bed of color in one of the sidewalks. Vibrant fuchsia colored hyacinth, mini daffodils, tulips and purple pansies. Spectacular.
This picture, taken from outside someones office window where they are enjoying the beauty of an orchid in full bloom.
And along Thomas Jefferson Street, the remnant petals of a beautiful tulip tree. It all happens so fast. The beautiful blooms are there and then with a gust of wind, they are gone. And we have had rain. That also hastens the demise of the blooms.
These tulip trees are still holding on to their petals, but probably not for long.
I believe this is the tulip tree that lost the blooms. This tree is closer to the street than the ones above. They are protected from the winds by the building. This tree is more open to the elements.
The beautiful verdant green of these lovely Euonymus evergreen trees.
Lots of new growth on both of these specimens.
So, today's post did not include project work or a fancy new dish to serve your guests, but concentrated on the beauty that is spring in Washington.

Along M Street, NW is Maxime Steak and Frites. A nice place to eat.
