Korea and Spring

I am leaving Seoul for Stockholm in few hours. During these two weeks, I will miss the cherry blossom festival. It's short lived - about 8 to 10 days.... Magnolias and peach buds are ready to bloom- yesterday's rain was a catalyst to shed winter completely off and doors are wide open to welcome spring....wild flowers and tulips in yellow, maroons and purple are already everywhere. Scent is in the air!
