On January 26th Kazuya and I went out and hiked part of the Mt. Kawanori Trail. It had snowed during the week and it had been cold, so we were hoping for an icy Hyakuhiro Waterfall - we were not disappointed. (Note that all of these photos are mislabeled "Jan27" - it was really the 26th.)The first shot is Kazuya crossing one of the several bridges on the way up to the waterfall. The 2nd shot is a bunch of "ice diamonds" on a rock off to the side of a small waterfall where the water splashes. The 3rd shot is some incredibly long candle ice - it's probably 4 - 5 inches (10 - 12 cm) long. |

The first shot here was our first glimpse of Hyakuhiro Waterfall. (For more photos of this waterfall see November 2007, February 2007 and July 2004's photos.) The 2nd shot is a closer view and the 3rd shot is even closer.

The first and 2nd shots in this row show a person for scale. The 3rd shot is a telephoto shot of just the very top of the waterfall. Keep in mind that this waterfall is more than 40 meters high.

The first photo here is a telephoto shot of a small portion of the waterfall. The 2nd shot is the entire waterfall and the 3rd shot is another small portion through the telephoto lens.

The first shot here is Kazuya - the "cone" of the waterfall is off to his left. The 2nd shot is the top portion again - with a blue sky background.

On the 27th we went to Nogawa Park and found the VERY FIRST flowers of the season. Here are 3 shots of Shibateranthis pinnatifida or "Setsubunsou" in Japanese. It's amazing to think that it snowed here just 4 days previous to finding these flowers. If you visit Kazuya's BLOG you can find pictures of the snow in Nogawa Park.
