Flowering forest

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Sunday, June 13, 2010

This morning we took a drive with friends along the south side of the Tuul river up to the old observatory east of Ulaanbaatar. After dropping the picnic stuff under a tree, we walked up into the forest to a rocky outcrop with a stunning view of UB. There were larch trees, birch trees, and flowers carpeting the green forest floor.

Glorious.

I think we are finally seeing the "upside" of that long, cold winter!
