Spring in Busan
A P H O T O E S S A Y B Y S H E I L A B U S T E E D
Life in Korea affords me many unique opportunities and experiences, but none is more enjoyable than going on photo shoots during spring in Busan. This beautiful coastal city, which I now call home, boasts some very interesting features and stunning sights. In this city, spring is synonymous with the cherry blossom bloom. The end of March is marked by this occasion, and it introduces a riot of colourful flowers to the city that Koreans and expats alike look forward to all winter.
This is my second spring bloom in this country, and I put my camera to good use this year, snapping plenty of shots of the cherry blossoms and other spring flowers at their peak. I even had the opportunity to partake in a photo shoot involving a couple of Thai models in traditional dress. The colours of this season are truly breathtaking. For those of you around the world who may still be in the throes of winter misery, hopefully the following images will bring you some cheer.

These Korean women are all smiles for spring
Spring is perfect for an afternoon bloom date...
This fairytale landscape brings peace to a busy city
| 
...Or exercising on the public equipment
The colourful canopy fills the air with its sweet scent
|
Every path becomes a romantic setting, even when explored alone
Even hillside family burial grounds...
Cherry blossoms aren't the only things blooming...
| 
...And quiet mountain roads seem more magical
...As other plants awaken for spring
|
In fact, whole fields are following suit
The beautiful blooming season also brought out two Thai beauties in traditional dress
Be mesmerized by Pla Tarkeunjin's eyes
Whether you're enjoying a park bench picnic...

And drawn in by Sayo Jang's flowing shawl
...Or strolling with the person you love most...

Busan has plenty to enjoy during the spring bloom
