Former President Barack Obama photobombs family next to the famed cherry blossom trees in Washington, D.C. (@brianainellphotography/Instagram)
The photo shows the pair of children smiling under a branch with pretty pink petals with the Washington Monument in the background. Obama is shown walking behind the pair while wearing a cap and sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets.
The children had just finished posing with their parents, Portia Moore and Damien Thomas, when their dad noticed Obama making the unexpected cameo, Moore wrote on Instagram.

Photographer Briana Inell, who was taking pictures of Moore’s young children, told the Washington Post that she's been photographing families and newborns for over a decade.
She said she's used to people walking in the background, mostly tourists.
"I go to the Tidal Basin every single year," Inell said. "I’m very used to people walking in on my pictures. I tell my clients ‘don’t worry they will be Photoshopped out.'"

In addition to his apology, Obama also posted about the day on his own Instagram account.
"It’s fun to be able to play tourist once in a while. The cherry blossoms were beautiful this morning!" he wrote.
