A Snowy Day

Today is January 9th and it is the first heavy snow that I've experienced in Kanazawa. This region is known for its harsh winters and heavy snow (thus all of the tree supports). Even though the winters are wet and very slushy, some flowers survive and the ducks do not fly South!

The following pictures are of tree supports throughout Kenrokuen gardens.




The picture below is of a famous foot bridge in Kenrokuen.

Great to see this fun event! Thanks for sharing. I had never seen tree supports that look like a teepee. Glad to see you are getting out in the 'weather'! Reminds me of when we went up Mt. Abe in the winter:)
