The path winds up and across a ridge, dotted with trees thick with the coarse green fuzz of early spring growth. The occasional explosion of a flowering white or yellow tree and red brush punctuates the scene. Every color but pink.

Looks like he spoke too soon. More notably the moment he sneezes, every flower on the tree above him seems to shudder strangely at once. Some of the group may be able to notice that those "flowers" have antennae and legs, just before a second loud sneeze sends the entire treeful of migrating butterflies EVERYWHERE.
