Grassland Flowers 7

It’s spring now. Flowers are blooming and insects are buzzing. So I’m busy with them.

This is the last post of the Bashang Grassland trip series. After this, I’m going to post what I found and what I did in spring. Of course, I’ll share my other trip/outdoor stories and photos here in the future.
