Cherry Blossoms

We arrived in Seoul at just about the perfect time. One thing that is famous in some places like Washington, DC, much of Japan, and much of Korea is the cherry blossoms. They bloom and these trees are just a canopy of white and pink flowers. It lasts a couple weeks and then the petals all fall coating the ground in what almost looks like feathery snow.

Why are those people blocking view of the cherry blossoms?

We got here in time to see the blossoms. We actually see them in many places in Seoul. But there are some of the parks and green spaces where one can see lots of them in near proximity to one another.

Lots of blossoms, no people in the way

We went to a park called Seoul Forest Park. Here we got to view a lot of beautiful nature. There were plenty of other people enjoying it as well. The parks have many of the cherry blossom trees. One section is called the Tree Walk. It was resplendent. There were all the delicate petals above us and all the delicate petals that had already fallen. An entirely charming scene.

I will let pictures do the heavy lifting in this post.

Like pink-tinged snow

But it doesn't make the steps slippery
