Wintry day in Kyoto

今日の京都は雪がちらつく寒い天気、比叡山と薄く雪化粧、比良さんはもう真っ白になっている。春は来そうでなかなか来ない。しかし、庭の梅のつぼみはもう大きくふくらんでいる。


(Swelling plum buds)

It was a wintry day today in Kyoto. It snowed this morning. Mt. Hiei was lightly dusted with snow, and Mt. Hira totally covered with it. We know spring is coming, but it sure looks like it is not in a rush. But the plum buds in the garden are in the know. They are ready to come out whenever it gets here.
