More about Spring 2012

At the Entrance of the Spring festival.

The balloons? We got them for free from a stall outside the venue. Did not know what for.

The budding flowers on top of the leaves were springing up. 

A Gazebo wrapped in the mushrooming tiny flowers. It adorned the alley leading to the main road where the festival was held. Look at the trees at the back. They were the reason why we came there in the first place.

oh, there was one more thing we did before entering the festivity. There was this height measurement in the public park. 

Going through the wooden gazebo I was talking about earlier.  I was trying to take a close-up pic of the flower right in front of me, but what happened was that...it was a bit blurry.

The Sakura were hanging on the trees. (Now, May.....they've gone. What's left is the green leaves) that symbolizes the coming of summer.

Lush green grass underneath the sakura trees captured the vividly different atmosphere of the Spring season. 

Here they came. with balloons in their hands, they were ready to stroll along the avenue dotted by the Sakura along the sides.

 

Must-have item on their list surely includes the bubbles. The kind of late afternoon wind was a perfect addition in the splendor of Spring. 

The policemen patrolling the venue were visible in their distinctive outfits. They were more like a helper or PR for the public. Most of patrolling policemen seen in most part of Seoul are the young or youth-looking police-- a positive outlook or action on the part of the government to give safety as well as warmth to the public.

Street artists, painters. 

Good to see how this kind of activity was freely held on the street. Right, I said it: literally ON the street. No one would've guessed or thought that it would've been probable in the very street that on normal days would be highly closed due to its proximity to the National Assembly Building in Youido. So, I deliberately took the picture as a token of the highly free spirit existence.

Blue + green  ballons; white Sakura on the trees; No cars around.  

what more / else could we ask for...

Let's take a pic before going on, Sis^^

" Look, I'm holding my balloon"

Still at the Spring festival 2012

What could be more tempting than staying out late in the midst of the blooming Sakura? And that's exactly what we did in Youido Spring festival last month:) ^^ Yes, this entry is still about how much admiration we are giving to the short-lived Spring that has now gone^^

We went there in the late afternoon so as to be able to stay a little bit later to enjoy the dazzling arrays of Sakura being showered with lights at nights. The pink, yellow, white projections of the flowers' colors did enhance the warm feeling we felt that night.

Group photo is a rare thing for us --since I am mostly the photographer. So, at times we had to have guts to ask other passers by just to take our pictures. Just like this time. 

This one, too. Though so dark and looks so hard to make out what that was...at least this particular pic has become one of the treasures we were sharing that night. 

What could I expect from a 5 MP smartphone.--considering the latest version of 8MP pic installed in most smart phones. 

Another look or angle that I took while going back or staying away from the crowd. It was windy and chilly, actually. But..to our surprise, lots of and more and more people were flocking into the street where the festival was being held. 

As a token of proof of our 'witnessing' the blooming of the flower in Spring 2012, we took the pics more than my camera could afford-- to speak frankly.

This time: I wonder what Eyra, Freya, and their Mom were doing. The seemed to be staring at something up there. Something that may got hooked on the branches of the trees, maybe? Nope. None of them. They were just 'posing' for the pic.

Eyra & Freya surely had the great time of themselves. 

They did some stunts that would just blow me away. Well, though it wud not be seen right here...)

Eyra and Freya who look just like each other started the main dish: taking lots of pictures

.... it is not that important as to what they watched there, but...most of the corners they were in during the festival....were giving them a background to take pics.

Like this one. All white fowers. Dotted the lane. dotted the night sky @ Youido

Me. My wife took the pic. (for sure)

my wife. I did the pic. for sure. as I mostly do.
