You’re going to want this bobblehead of Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom holding up the Stanley Cup together

When the Capitals won it all in 2018, there were several Stanley Cup champion bobbleheads released that summer that were must-haves.

There were bobbleheads of TJ Oshie riding the Metro, Evgeny Kuznetsov doing the bird celebration, Braden Holtby making The Save, Lars Eller celebrating his Cup-winning goal during Game Five, and Devante Smith-Pelly holding up a championship belt. All of the bobbleheads are super creative (Kuzy’s arms bobble) and now all of them reside in my Capitals-themed basement.

Now there’s another championship bobblehead that you, me, and pretty much every other Caps fan in existence is going to want to own. It’s a bobblehead of Alex Ovechkin holding the Stanley Cup up with Nicklas Backstrom. Together.

DC’s cherry blossoms reach peak bloom

The cherry blossoms reached peak bloom on Monday, as forecasted by the National Parks Service. All along the Tidal Basin, delicate pink and white flowers have enveloped the trees, transforming the landscape for a magical two weeks.

I set out on Saturday afternoon to capture images of the blossoms before they disappear. During my photoshoot, a bird landed in the trees and posed with its wings outstretched. In its grip was a stick, probably to line its nest.

Nature is so beautiful, guys.
