Good Pictures!

I've never lived in countryside or mountainous area when I was growing up
but I had to walk over a small hill to my elementary school as well as to my middle school.
It was a small hill and field even to that young aged child but I have a fond memory
of walking through the field of yellow radish flowers(무장다리꽃) and wild flowers(들국화).
In summer time there were abundant butterflies and dragon flies in the air
and I chased after them with no reason to catch until I was out of breath with sweat.
Oh, there were grasshoppers too and we, with my friends caught them
and strung them in a straw and carried home as if it were a trophy of the day.
I have no recollection of their ending after I got home, though.
Your photos of the wild flowers in the Boreas Pass remind me of those summer days of my childhood,
even though the magnitude is not even close in comparison.
Except that it's as beautiful and precious as yours.
Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood summer days,
as vividly beautiful as the scenery of your Boreas Pass.

승자 님, Magnitude를 얘기하셨는데, 미국의 규모는 한국인으로서는 상상키 어렵게 큽니다.
Denver 시내에서 Rocky 산맥의 분수령 (언덕 넘어가는) 까지만도 64 miles (100 km, 250리)로,
한국으로 말하면 경기도를 동서로 거의 가로 질러가는 거리이죠.
사진에서 보듯이 Boreas Pass와 그전후의 광대한 텅 빈 땅들이 전부 국유림으로 보호되어있지요.
It is the home of the wildflowers and wild animals.
It's a great priviledge for us to visit the place and enjoy the beautiful nature.
I always say to myself... "Why didn't I come up here more often?"
This year, finally, I have cut down on golfing and hiked the mountains much more often.

I am thinking of creating a local Korean alpine club and do it in a regular schedule.
Our place is too precious to enjoy only by a few people.
