After the weirdest cherry blossom watch in recent memory (ever?), the Yoshino cherry trees finally unfurled their blooms—or what was left of them, after a surprise cold snap damaged a good chunk of the fragile flowers—this weekend.

Signs of an extremely early spring originally had the National Park Service preparing for potentially the earliest bloom on record. But a chilly spell, and then a prolonged freezing spell threatened to completely obliterate D.C.’s most famous season.

When the blossoms finally peaked (defined as 70 percent in bloom) on Saturday, things weren’t all that dire. The trees were skimpier than usual, but there was still plenty of light pink petals to bask in. Local photographers made their usual rounds and captured some beautiful shots, with assists from moody fog, bright sunshine, and a scene-stealing beaver.

If you didn’t get out over the weekend, enjoy them while you can; the best viewing times are over the next two-five days.
