Trees n Bushes 53 Snow in Kyushu, Japan

NF Trees n Bushes 53

Welcome to NF Tree n Bushes meme.

I have always liked trees and have lots of them in my files that I never got around to post. I assume that many of you have it too. So, for this meme is not about running around taking shots today. You can as well dig in your files for those gems never posted. Trees and bushes comes in many shapes and forms and they look different as the year go by. Many of them has flowers and are showing autumn colors. They change always.

Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan

From my trip to Japan 2 months ago.

These images was taken through the window of the bus while going from breakfast to the Arasaki Crane Center. This should have been a tropical view in the south part of Japan, but we ended up in a snowstorm.
They did not have any snow for more then a 100 years so it was chaos in the area. But Sweds are used to it.

Finally,

don´t forget The Creative Playroom tomorrow, Wednesday.

On the airport Miyazaki at the island of Kyushu it was sunshine and springlike weather even if you could feel a touch of cold. A tropical island with palm trees and such.

Driving across Kyushu to the west side.

When we arrived in Japan it was great weather but in the south, where we were heading the next day, a snowstorm hit the west side of Kyushu. Our flight was cancelled but our guide manage to book another flight to an airport on the east side of the island. The bus we hired picked us up and then started the drive across the island. The further west we came the more snow and wind it was. Luckily the driver was used to work in the northern part of Japan. Thus knowing how to handle bad situations.

This happened in an island that hardly ever seen snow. They did not have equipment to handle it.
Late in the evening we arrived at the hotel. No time for cranes this day. But we had better luck the next day.
More about that elsewhere in my blogs :)
