周辺の山々に新緑 Spring Green in the Hills

May 1, 2013: 季節 Seasons

戸倉上山田温泉の周辺の山々に新緑の色が付いてきました。ちょうどゴールデンウィークに間に合うように、黄緑の色にってきた。

この冬は長かった。山がずっと茶色だった。4月の下旬でぽつぽつで山桜の白い色が出て、そして今の黄緑の色。

春は本格的に来ましたね。

やっと。

The hillsides surrounding our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada are changing color as the deciduous trees are starting to leaf out with spring growth.

This has been a long, long winter. The hills have been brown with occasional dustings of snow for so long. Then, towards the end of April there were spots of brilliant white color -- the wild cherry trees. And now, the light green of new growth.

Spring has finally fully come.

At last!
