By Mary Ann Barton

If you didn’t make it to the Tidal Basin at the Jefferson Memorial over the weekend to see the cherry blossom trees, you can still catch them in all their splendor via the Cherry Blossom Cam.

EarthCam has teamed up with the National Park Service to deliver breathtaking views of Washington, D.C. The camera offers a sweeping tour of the country’s capital, with stops at some of the most iconic landmarks and memorials. Front and center is the Tidal Basin, where you can even see people paddle boating, surrounded by the Yoshino Cherry trees.

The camera delivers a live shot of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., where thousands of area residents and tourists are taking in the magical blossoms.

Peak bloom period for the trees runs through Tuesday.
