Cherry Blossom In Korea, Spring 2011


So, did I get to picnic under the full bloom of Cherry Blossom in Seoul? Heck no... :(


Some trees were already in bloom. So, we snapped some pics to capture the nature's beauty.


Even at Damyang, which is further south of Seoul, only a handful of trees were in bloom. Most were just starting to bloom.


Oh well, wrong dates estimation. 


Another time perhaps.


On the day we left ( 14 April 2011), it seemed like most trees were in bloom. I'm sure it'll be a beautiful sight this week in Seoul.

Beautiful Springtime Flowers

'Til next time, we'll just look silly posing away with lone Cherry Blossom trees here and there. :|

Hi Sapna,

I'm sure it's beautiful. Too bad we were too early by a week with our wrong prediction. :(

Any photos or blog to share? =)
