Azaleas and Spring

It is Spring here in Korea - and the azaleas are in bloom. The two bottom photos were taken behind the Jeonju Core Riviera Hotel .

The top photo I took - sight unseen. I had thought the garden behind the high wall would be wonderful, and it was. I had put my arm up high with the camera in my hand and clicked.

The top photo is of a view in one of the modernised streets of Jeonju Hanok Village.

Blossoms in Korea

The blossom season is short lived - though spectacular, the petals soon fall to the ground. These were at a Buddhist temple just out of Jeonju - and the road to the temple was lined on both sides by wonderful blossoms too, but I was unable to take a good photo from the moving car.

Spectacular!

Magnolia at the temple

One of the great joys in spring in China and Korea are the blooming of the Magnolia trees. There are different varieties - some all white, some with rose colour on the back of the petals, and others with smaller flowers.

These were blooming at the temple just out of Jeonju.

Daffodils and Tulips in Korea

While walking around Jeon Ju, Korea, I found this wonderful garden in a Gold Driving Range. Daffodils, and there are many in gardens here, as well as these tulips making an impressive display.
