The Seemingly Remaining + Intact + Untouched Autumn (part 2)

 

Why not the best advantage of being in the seemingly untouched autumn??ㅋㅋㅋ 

and that's exactly what we did.

People seemed to not care about the existence of the line up of trees right here.

but we DID. 

Although once again, it is right in the middle of Sewage Management Facility, the view was not-to-be-missed.

A Giant Screen TV: Autumn Foliage

Yes, and this is what I mean by my giant screen TV. It's the window in my room.

Every morning it displays the feature of autumn morning with all its splendor. 

A colorfully radiant morning sun rays that penetrates into the autumn foliage is mesmerizing for my eyes to rest upon. 

It's just that it couldn't be any brighter and more dazzling than this simple routine of waking up to gaze this bright light right outside my window. 

Gee...I think I am too poetic...

thanks, Autumn.

Seoul Olympic Park in Autumn (part 5)

 The sun's about to set and we got to go home.

But, before that.... 

let's take a family portrait, first. 

We got to climb up the hill to go down into the subway station. 

But since the view was endearingly beautiful, I didn't mind walking up the hill. 

The 2nd family pic at the park. 

On my way going up the hill, I zoomed a far away shot of the park down below. 

Eyra & her Mom. 

A vast lawn of green (well, it's changing into orange-hued color)...was enough to mesmerize anyone who loves outdoor activities. 

Wait, what about Eyra & her Daddy? 

The path leading up the hill... 

The sun's hiding behind the high rises... 

and...that's it, girl. 

Hope you enjoy your trip today to the Olympic Park.

Seoul Olympic Park In Autumn (part 4)

One place we needed to see was the lonely tree:)

so, we kept on walking. 

oh, well...Mama couldn't resist herself from not taking pictures along the way. 

what's with the look, Fre? 

oh, my first picture in the park... 

Within a few minutes of walking, we reached the second plaza where the famous 'lonely tree' is located.  

There it was.

More people were pouring into the area... 

wait up, Freya. Gosh..she just couldn't wait. In a split of a second, she was already up ahead of me...running towards the tree. 

I'd better enjoy what the surrounding had for us.

I thought that no one was allowed to be in the perimeter of the tree, but I saw three people were right next to the tree! 

Let's take a pic to capture the moment, gals. 

Finally, with one last persuasion, Freya agreed to stand still and...let me do the job. 

The shadows....

Seoul Olympics Park in Autumn (part 3)

We walked up the hill .... 

to see some parts of Olympic stadiums from atop. 

They're learning a thing or two... 

a bird I didn't know what...perched on a tree.. 

Kept on walking until we reached a pedestrian and bicycle lane... 

that led us to flower beds... 

which enticed anyone... 

to take a moment, step back, enjoy the flower...or immortalize it in picture. 

Okay, Mama's always into flowers.... 

While Freya's been into animals. She encountered this brown rabbit at the park... 

and soon...other people were following along.

they kept on clicking on the shutter ..enough to scare the rabbit away....?^^ 

nope. It didn't budge. 

A Trip to the Garden of Morning Calm (아침고요수목원) : Part 1

It's Autumn. and just like what we did last year, we managed to go to one of our beloved provinces in Korea: Gyeonggi-do where at times...nature does spoil its visitors.:-)

we boarded the ITX train.

since it's weekend:-) we did not manage to book the seat arrangement, instead we just sat on the floors like many others.:-)

We arrived at Cheongpyeong station...at around 10 am after about 30 minute ride from Seoul (Cheongnyangni station). 

Let's take a moment to take a picture, first. girl.:) 

As the guide book told us, we should make a 10-minute walk toward the bus terminal. 

and there's this short-cut to the terminal: yes...it's a harvested paddy field. 

The station as we left it... the misty hill at the. backdrop

After a zig-zag route to find the terminal, finally we made it.

Cheongpyeong bus terminal. 

We booked the city bus that would take us straight to the Morning Calm garden.

the ride took about 30 minutes with a 1,200 Won charge..using our T-money card that we usually use in Seoul.

and this is the bus we took.(the green bus number 37??) hope I'm correct:). 

On the bus..we're having fun...too.

well, it's weekend and it's gonna be fun to spend the day with family in outdoor and out of the city. 

and...we got to make sure that would spend half-day at the garden since we got to take the 5 pm ITX train back to Seoul.
