SPRING IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE TRANS-ILI ALATAU

Rosehips

Poppies blooming

Looking out over the wide spaces of the steppe

An aromatic “umbrella”

Each one better than the next

A wide range of plant cover

Clouds

New life sprouting

More blooming poppies

And still more greenery

Wide-open spaces

Rowan blossoms

Almaty apples

Springtime expanses
