Summer in Full Bloom

Summer is officially here, and I'm sad to say the weather is much the same as the Midwest this time of year. The days have turned hot and muggy. As an added bonus, we've been told that monsoon season is fast approaching. Now, I'm not really sure what that is going to entail or how long it will last, but it sounds ominous. Saturday we got a taste of it - a downpour all day long that made our day of shopping in Seoul a little less fun.

I'm amazed at the array of plants and flowers that are always in bloom here. Recently, the giant rose bushes that cover many of the fences and line the sidewalks on our way to work were covered in thousands of flowers. It was so pretty! Below are a few pictures that give an idea of what it was like, but it was hard to really capture the full effect.
