This page begins with May 5th and a trip by Kazuya to Yunosawa Pass in Yamanashi Prefecture on another violets hunting expedition. I stayed home simply because I did not want to get up at 3:30 AM. Then we jump to May 10th and another trip by Kazuya - I did not go because we got up at 3:45 AM the day before to go to the Mitake & Okutama Areas, but it was such miserable weather that we did not even get off the train. I could not get up so early two days in a row, but Kazuya is younger and he is more of a violets nut than I am I guess. That's all for this page. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Here is the start of the Yunosawa Pass trail which Kazuya climbed up and then 2 shots of Enemion raddeanum plants and flowers.
