An artist holds her sketch as people visit a beloved iconic cherry blossom tree named ‘Stumpy’ that bloomed for the last time at the Tidal Basin in Washington DC on March 22, 2024. Visitors are heard sadly saying farewell as they pass by the cherished tree that has become a symbol of resilience. He bloomed over the years despite the frail weathered condition of his fragile shell of a trunk inspiring those who feel broken. Many found this misshapen hollow trunk holding up a few branches a magnificent work of art.
