It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Ah, Springtime in Korea!  Really the best of the famed 4 seasons of Korea.  Perhaps this year feels all the sweeter with the knowledge that this is my last spring here.  Bittersweet is probably more accurate.

Anyway, these pics were taken outside my office.  Literally.  Not the best possible location for photography, but it will suffice.  Actually, the blossoms will probably peak in a couple of days, so these shots are a bit premature.

During the occupation, this was a Japanese military base.  Rumor has it they planted these cherry trees.  I don’t know if that is true or not and I guess it doesn’t matter either.

They sure are purdy though, don’t ya think?
