Part of the trip was spent at the Arenal Volcano area where I found a wonderful eco-lodge called Bio Thermales Hot Springs. It has at least 8 natural hot spring pools and is surrounded by rainforest. A place like this can’t go unphotographed.  So we decided to woke up very early in the morning and as we went for a bath in the different pools we also took snapshots. There was one in particular that we liked the most because next to it there was natural spring water flowing, it was the closest to the rainforest and the sun was shining over it. As my wife was enjoying of a bath in the hot spring, I snapped a few shots. Here is one of them.

On March 31st around 7:00 AM I met with my friend Daniel at the Jefferson Memorial to take pictures of the Cherry Blossom in DC.  We were late as we were supposed to be there by 6:30  to catch the sunrise. At that time the area was already full of photographers which I guess is normal during this season, despites the fact that it still pretty cold during this time of the year.

Below, some of my shots:
