'My bad': Obama photobombs family taking cherry blossom pictures in DC

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A family was taking photos with the cherry blossoms in D.C.'s Tidal Basin Monday when a familiar face accidentally photobombed their pictures - former president Barack Obama.

The photographer, Briana Inell, was snapping pictures of Portia Moore's children when the 44th president casually strolled by in the background.

Portia Moore and photographer Briana Inell posted the surprising moment on Instagram with the caption, "Best photobomb ever! This is why you get to the tidal basin at sunrise on a weekday! You never know who you're going to see!"

Moore said that while the photos were being taken, her husband, Damien, was trying to say something to her, but she was distracted by her son.

"After that shoot was done I pick Preston up and asked Damien 'what were you saying'? He goes 'that was President Obama who just walked by' and looks his direction," Moore wrote on Instagram. "I ran to the photographer and asked her if she got the picture. She scrolls through and BOOM there is it! The perfect shot!"

The photo quickly went viral with the former president apologizing for being in the shot.

"Preston and Belle, I hope you enjoyed peak bloom!" Obama commented on the mother's post. "My bad for stepping into the shot."

Obama also documented his stroll to enjoy the flowers.

"It’s fun to be able to play tourist once in a while," he shared on Instagram. "The cherry blossoms were beautiful this morning!"
