投稿の詳細: 季節はずれの雪 Unexpected snow

須坂温泉の信号機の辺りに人がぱらぱらと
動いている。事故かなと思ってよく見ると、
どうやら散り始めの桜に積もった雪の景色を
写真に収めている人達だった。

ワイナリーは案の定こんな感じで、
暖かい雪はクリスマスよりまだ前の寒くなりかけ
た季節の風情を漂わせている。もう春なのだが。

街場より標高の高いこの辺では、積雪も僅かだが
多い。融け方もゆっくりだ。

昨日りんごの蕾はこんな感じだったので
多少の雪は大丈夫だろうが、蜂が飛んで受粉が
うまく行くかがリンゴ農家の心配事だ。

There were some people moving around at the
traffic light at Suzaka Onsen. Traffic accident ?
No. They were the people taking photographs of
snow covered cherry blossoms which had just started falling.

The winery was in the snow like this and the atmosphere
made me feel like it was just the beginning of winter although
it is spring for sure.

The snow is a bit heavier here than it is in the down town
at the lower altitude and melts a bit slower, too.

The apple buds were like these yesterday so the snow
would not cause big damage yet but the apple growers
might worry if the bees was going to fly for the pollination.
