flowers of spring

Flowers of different varieties, colors and shapes greeted us in the Dendrological Garden last Saturday. Last year, there weren’t any flower gardens under the trees, but this years set-up is surely eye-catching. It’s good that they thought of this to beautify the area more. There were plenty of tulips! And the wild dandelions growing in the fields were just as beautiful, it’s tempting to lie down in the grass and watch the tiny yellow flowers swaying their slender stems as the wind blows. Gazing at the beauty of nature works much like health supplements; it’s relaxing and good for the body.

Here are some of the beauties we saw:

Pretty, aren’t they?

And here I am, lying in the bed of dandelions. What a nice life!

Last weekend we went to a friend’s cottage to enjoy the spring air. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t perfect at all. It was very windy, blowing on us chilly breeze! We wanted to have a barbeque outdoor but the cold was unbearable, my friend baked the meat instead. We also wanted to take a walk to the nearby river, but junked the idea.

I wish we’re like these flowers sprouting around the cottage area; they still stand pretty and proud despite the cold weather.

Seeing a beauty such as the fuschia flower above makes me ask myself “do I still want to look up on life insurance quotes online? ” Nature’s beauty has a way to make one forget about life’s realities. The picture was taken by my sister when we had a relaxing weekend spent in a mountain resort. Even if our accommodation was modest, we still enjoyed our short stay there, surrounded with nature. The climate was cool; breathing the fresh and clean air of the mountain was really refreshing. I’d love to get back there in the future. I hope by then the management would have improved the park and repair their lodging rooms.
