PHOTOS: Crowds flock to Oregon Capitol for Cherry Blossom Day

A slight chill in the morning didn’t deter Salem from celebrating the start of cherry blossom season at the Oregon Capitol on Saturday, March 21.
Crowds gathered on the Capitol Mall to enjoy Cherry Blossom Day, taking photos amid the trees and waiting in a long line to enter the building for cultural demonstrations and performances.
Lanterns are in place at State Capitol State Park to illuminate the blossoms through Saturday, April 4.
