It is another lovely morning with largely blue skies and just a little cloud.
This morning, Mt Yotei is choosing to pose with a rather fetching looking cloud cap.
It might be largely clear but we did get some fresh snow overnight, with Hirafu reporting up to 15cm on mountain.
And we might get some more today.
Few words today. I hope you have a fine Sunday, wherever you are!
