Spring comes!

and goes...and comes...and goes...

Today, it came!

I wound up having to wait at the ferry terminal for about 3 hours due to an odd bus schedule. Since it was a beautiful day, I decided to walk around for a little bit. Here are some lovely spring sights I saw!

Flowers! There was a great patch of daffodils!
Rocks! And water, too.
I loved the way the blue of the sky slowly faded and then was replaced by the blue of the water.
My hiking shoes! Oh, well.
More rocks!
I actually was right at the water's edge here. Sitting down on the sun-warmed rocks for a little while was quite lovely.
A big ol' rock
This side of this hill is just amazing in real life.
The sheerness of it absolutely doesn't translate in the picture!
Don't you just want to climb these stairs with me??
Teeny flowers were blooming all over the above stairs
A lovely spot partway up the hill
Don't you just want to sit here?
View off the north side of the hill
I am up on the big ol' rock

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h...Liz, these are marvelous! The sheer beauty is breathtaking. It is hard to believe you live in this beauty every day and don't have to travel to get to it!

Jon and you are going to have a terrific time exploring spring in northern Japan together. The only thing that keeps me from being jealous is the thought of being crammed into a tiny airplane seat squished between hordes of people for 14 hours. lol

Lizzy, you are a perfect example of how beautiful the world is, for people with eyes and hearts to see.
