English version
Maybe too early to say, but spring has come in Hokkaido! (although it is still very cold in the morning). These are the very first flowers in my garden.
Since when I first came to Hokkaido, I've been surprised at how fast seasons come and go. Flowers bloom and fall one after another as if they were in a hurry to enjoy short but beautiful seasons.
Oh, what I mean by "seasons" is spring, summer and fall. As you know, Hokkaido is cold. Especially my area is a heavy-snow area and naturally has a long winter season, during most of which snow covers everything. Snow removal is quite a burden, but snow makes Hokkaido one of the best places in Japan for skiing and if you are a skier, I bet you will love the powder snow (unfortunately I don't ski, though).
By the way, I took this photo with my Moto g7 and added a film look on it.
This photo is compressed, but still enough for a blog, isn't it?

ちょっと早すぎるかもしれませんが、北海道に春が来ました！（朝はまだめっちゃ寒いんですけどね）。写真はうちの庭のまさに最初の花。
北海道に引っ越して来た当初から季節の移り変わりの速さに驚きっぱなしです。花は次々に咲いては散り、まるで急ぎ足で短かくも美しい季節を楽しもうとしているようです。
おっと、ここで「季節」というのは春、夏、秋のこと。ご存じのように北海道は寒いです。特に私の住む地域は豪雪地帯で当然、冬が長く、ほとんどの期間すべて雪の中。除雪はまあ大変ですが、この雪のおかげで日本の中でもスキーのメッカの一つとなっているわけで、スキーをする方ならパウダースノーに惚れ込むのではないかなと（残念ながら私自信はスキーしないんですけどね）。
ところでこの写真は Moto g7で撮影してフィルム効果を足してます。
圧縮してますが、ブログには十分だと思いませんか？
