Two seasons in one day

At home the sakura (cherry blossom) season is long over, replaced by tsutsuji (azalea), fuji (wisteria) and of course shinryoku (livid green), but up even tiny Hinode, we were able to walk back in time.

Three quarters of the way up the leaves were just starting to open.

And at the summit we were back in full blown cherry blossom season.
