Nagasaka Hights in Early Spring
With the arrival of April, flowers have started blooming and agricultural works have started in Nagasaka Hights.
"Midori-ko" Pond is known as scenic spot of cherry blossoms. When these photos were taken on 15 April, cherry flowers had already passed their full blossom. The snow-covered mountain in the background of the upper photo is Gongen-dake, a part of Yatsugatake, and the background of the lower photo is Kimpu-san.

早春の長坂高原
４月に入って長坂高原では花が咲き、畑では今シーズンの準備が始まりました。
小泉小学校から少し下がったところにある「みどり湖」は桜の名所の一つ。この写真を撮影した４月１５日には既にかなり散っていました。上の写真の遠景、雪を被った山頂は八ヶ岳の権現岳、下の写真の遠景は金峰山。
