Cherry blossoms mark the true beginning of spring, along with the arrival of glorious sunshine, refreshing breezes and all around spectacular picnic weather. Within Seoul, the most talked about place to see the blossoms is on Yeouido, a large island on the Han River where many of the tallest skyscrapers in Korea are located.

The Kimchi-ite: The End Of Cherry Blossom Season On Yeouido

Cherry blossoms mark the true beginning of spring, along with the arrival of glorious sunshine, refreshing breezes and all around spectacular picnic weather.

Apr 16th, 2013 at 6:30PM:
Each spring, Washington, D.C., transforms from a city of grey to a city of pink during the National Cherry Blossom Festival, an annual springtime celebration of the capital's most famous flower. This year's "Peak Bloom Date" fell on April 9; today's Photo of the Day, from Flickr user Christopher Skillman, was taken a day later. ...#OnTheRoad On Instagram: Seoul, South Korea
Apr 16th, 2013 at 4:30PM:
Cherry blossoms get me ridiculously excited. The gorgeous pinkish-white flowers last for only a couple of weeks, making them truly special. They are the one true indication that spring has started here in South Korea, where cherry blossoms line many streets and park walkways. Numerous festivals around the country are held in order to take full advantage or their limited blooming period. Over ...Photo Of The Day: Sakura In Tokyo
Mar 29th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Cherry blossom season is in full effect in Tokyo. The beautiful, pinkish flowers, sakura in Japanese, are in many ways intertwined with the country's culture. The start of the fiscal and school years falls in line with the blossom season. Virtually all public schools and major company buildings will have at least one sakura tree out front and group pictures are taken at the start of a new ...Photo Gallery: Colorado Wildflowers
Jul 7th, 2012 at 3:00PM: Colorado may be burning, but it's also blooming. July kicks off wildflower season in the Rockies; in a place of perpetual photo opps, it's one of the most beautiful times to visit.
Crested Butte's annual Wildflower Festival is July 9-12, and includes over 80 hikes, 4x4 backcountry tours, and photography, gardening and cooking classes. If you can't make a trip out, enjoy these photos of Colorado ...
Photo Of The Day: Turkish Tulips
Apr 19th, 2012 at 6:00PM:
April showers bring May flowers, as the saying goes. We're getting plenty of rain this month in Turkey, but we've had flowers. April is the big month for tulips in Istanbul, and you can see them planted all over town as 11.5 million were planted for this year's season. I took today's photo at Emirgan Park, one of the prime viewing spots of the Istanbul Tulip Festival. There are over 100 ...Photo Of The Day: Copan Carpet In Honduras
Apr 8th, 2012 at 6:00PM:
This Sunday marks the Easter Holiday in much of the world, and worshippers everywhere are marking the day with uniquely local traditions. As evidence check out this photo taken by Flickr user Aldaberto.H.Vega in Honduras. As part of Semana Santa locals lay out brilliant "carpets" on the streets composed of colorful sawdust and flowers documenting the Stations of the Cross. The Gadling team ...Photo of the Day: Spring comes to Croatia
Mar 13th, 2012 at 7:00PM:
Around the world, signs of spring are starting to appear. You smell it in the soft scent of pollen. You feel it in the positive energy emanating from people who have spent the winter in hibernation. And you see it in the tiny flower buds sprouting everywhere you look. Flickr user Gordan Renic perfectly captured the first signs of spring in Zagreb, Croatia, with this Photo of the Day, aptly ...Photo of the Day - Field of red flowers
Sep 25th, 2011 at 8:00PM:
Somewhere in your imagination, there's a valley like this one, its verdant slopes carpeted with a bursting red patchwork of flowers. Except, in this case, the valley is real. Photo of the Day regular jrodmanjr found this amazing patch of red clover while exploring Oregon's Willamette Valley. The image's visual appeal is intensified by the macro focus on a single bunch of the colorful plants ...Photo of the Day: Norway Fjord in Spring
May 15th, 2011 at 7:15PM:
SPRING! That wonderful time of year when suddenly even the coldest places burst with new life and color. Today's photo, taken by Flickr user Josh Loves It in Norway, is a great way to celebrate the return of this warmer season. The photo comes to us from Norway's scenic Lofoten Islands, an isolated archipelago of isles located way up north beyond the Arctic Circle. These normally frigid ...Organic flower farms: a trip worth making
Apr 18th, 2011 at 2:00PM:
Organic flowers aren't as talked about as organic food. And it's not difficult to understand why. It's been tough getting the public at large to focus on organic food--food, something we ingest and rely on as fuel for our body. Focusing the public eye in on the importance of organic flowers, in addition to their food, isn't an easy task. But organic flower farmers are out there and with a ...Photo of the Day (5.2.2010)
May 2nd, 2010 at 10:00PM:
Imagine getting lost and stumbling upon the scene above. An endless field of brilliant yellow flowers, capped off with little fluffy clouds and a brilliant blue sky. It looks straight out of a movie, doesn't it? Except this time it's real. Flickr user (flicts) happened upon this wonderful scene while driving around in Portugal. Getting lost isn't always a bad thing - you might just end up ...Buy seeds during your travels - Souvenir tip
Mar 3rd, 2010 at 10:00AM: If you love gardening, it's fun to purchase seeds of flowering plants from distant lands to add uncommon beauty and interest to your landscape. If the plant blooms, you'll get loads of compliments or questions, and that allows you to share the memories of your travels.
Try to purchase seeds that closely match your climate or gardening zone, but many times plants will flower in your area during ...Amsterdam's floating flower market
Dec 22nd, 2009 at 4:00PM:
Amsterdam's Singel canal, which in the Middle Ages encircled the city as a moat, is home to the world's only floating flower market, Bloemenmarkt. The stalls sit like large, partially-enclosed pontoon boats up against the street, and from the inside, they appear to be regular shops across the road from the touristy cheese and trinket traps. As you can see above, you'll never notice the stalls ...Photo of the Day (10.18.09)

Today's Photo of the Day pick comes to us from Flickr user Walker Starling, who's provided us with a beautiful example of macro photography. The crystal-clear detail of the flower in front is contrasted with the soft focus of everything behind it, creating a beautiful dream-like visual effect. The colors are great too: the soft purple of the petals, surrounded by clumps of punchy yellow and ...Through the Gadling Lens: inspirational nature shots from our Gadling Flickr pool
Oct 15th, 2009 at 11:00AM: As you know by now, today we're bringing attention to climate change and ecotravel here on Gadling. Personally, climate change and taking care of the environment is an issue that I've thought about a whole lot since becoming a parent -- and to be honest, my daughter has become pretty passionate about it herself ("Mom, you forgot to turn off your computer! You have to save the environment!" is not ...Through the Gadling Lens: enhancing vacation shots with macro photography
Jul 2nd, 2009 at 11:00AM: This week, I received an email from Gadling reader, Brenda: I read your post on choosing lenses and I was curious as to how big exactly a macro lens is because all the other lenses were identified by their length in mm and I couldn't find a precise range for the size of a macro lens by searching on google so im not sure what it is. I would appreciate it if you could clear this up for me. This is ...Photo of the Day (6-17-09)

One of the most beautiful sites in North Dakota in the summer time is the fields along the highway that are filled with yellow sunflowers. This shot by flicts reminds me of that--plus the warmth, energy and happiness of the season. The angle also turns this one flower into a kaleidoscope of nature.
If you've captured and image you'd like to share, add it to Gadling's Flickr photo pool and it ...Travel song for spring: Morning Has Broken
Apr 12th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Back in November and December we ran a series Songs of Travel where we featured our favorite travel songs. This morning with spring flowers blooming in a variety of places, even along I-70 where I saw dozens of daffodils in their yellow splendor just yesterday, and my mother is talking about the redbud trees blooming throughout the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, I'm reminded of Cat Steven's ...
Cherry blossoms at New York's botanical gardens
Mar 31st, 2009 at 9:30AM: With only through next week to catch the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C., there's another chance in April to enjoy the pink glory if you head north. At the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, and at the Brooklyn Botantic Gardens, the cherry trees bloom later than those in D.C.
To create this time lapse photography video that highlights the blooming, 3,000 shots, one every three ...
