Visitors to the nation’s capital Saturday found sunny skies but few cherry trees still in bloom for the National Cherry Blossom Parade.

An estimated 60,000 tourists and residents of the region came to watch the parade, which wraps up the annual, weeklong National Cherry Blossom Festival.

National Park Service officials said that the parade this year came about two weeks after the peak season of the cherry blossoms that decorate the Tidal Basin and other capital landscapes.
