A little bit of #snow and #fresh #green at Mt. #Akaishi-dake in the Japanese Southern Alps in the village of #Oshika in May.

Summer tried to break through—
a hint of blue
behind the heavy clouds.
In Hitachi,
the air held both warmth and weight,
like the day couldn’t decide
between light and shade.
