On a day in late February I visited Gokurakuji Temple in Kamakura in search of spring. However, I only found a few plum blossoms just starting to bloom in front of a temple, as well as very interesting photographers trying to capture a train coming out of a tunnel. Disappointed, I followed a road sign and took a walk toward Jojuin Temple looking for a herald of spring. This temple is famous for gorgeous hydrangeas decorating the pathway in June, but in late February there didn't seem to be any flowers there. However when I looked closely, I found small flowers and green new leaves here and there. Surely spring was coming!

Yeah, I think it was too early. Maybe you can give it another try in April. Keep it up!
