spring scenes

Green barley field and mountains around Hyeonpung 현풍, a county subdivision of Dalseong District. Spring has come to 비슬산, Bisulsan, Mt. Bisul in the middle of the mountain range, too. The ruins of 대견사, Dagyeonsa, a Buddhist temple built during Shilla Kingdom(57 BC∼AD 935)are located somewhere on the ridge of Mt. Bisul . Also somewhere nearby is an old stupa on the top of rock. Two peaks of Mt. Ap just outside of southern Daegu and Mt. Bisul are connected by a long ridge. It usually takes about 8 hours on foot.
There is a large Rhododendron colony on the ridge of Mt. Bisul. Rhododendrons in full bloom in spring season attract hikers from across the nation.
After spring rains, a little tiny violet flower is in blossom on the front garden of the company where lawn grass is maintained regularly. Little green buds are coming out on withered grasses, too. Little sprouts and the bare branches of a persimmon tree also can be seen.
