Blooming Cherry Blossoms

Finally, the chilly winter temperature is replaced by the welcome cool breeze of springtime season! Here in Korea, the start of spring is associated with the blooming of the cherry blossom trees. It is indeed a sight to behold with cherry blossom trees blooming white flowers after it has been bare the whole winter. It's one of natures beautiful reminder of the start of another season - springtime.

Last Saturday was the full bloom of the cherry blossom trees in our place here in Korea. My office building is surrounded with these trees that employees have the luxury of strolling through the surrounding areas during lunch breaks. The side of the street across our office is also lined up with these cherry blossom trees. For me, I took the opportunity last Saturday to take the time to enjoy this seasonal event together with my family. However, I only had the chance to stroll through a few trees as we had some other family schedule to attend to. Anyhow, it was still a relaxing feeling to go out into the sunshine with its welcome warmth comforting the cool air of spring. Besides, my wife and her friends had already strolled through most of the cherry blossom trees across the streets in our office.
