While driving along unpaved roads in the Mt Hood wilderness looking for a specific trailhead, we turned a corner and came upon this majestic viewpoint with wildflowers blooming profusely. I was glad to have a camera with me! Funny thing, this is not the road we should have been on (my husband said the "map was wrong"), but how lovely to get "lost" and find such beauty! And yes, we did find the correct trail and had a nice hike that day.

One of the things that charmed me about visiting South Korea in the month of October was the profusion o...f wild cosmos that bloomed along the roadsides. We experienced sunshine, warm temperatures, and these cheerful flowers on every exploring adventure through the country. My memories of that trip are happy, pleasant ones!
