The weather is decidedly springlike outside, and though I've learned more than once not to declare this winter over until some time in mid-July, I've decided to tempt the fates. I was rather enjoying the winter, frigid cold and all, but the beautifully hand-colored View of Sacred Bridge at Nikko has given me a bad case of spring fever. The rushing water of the Daiya River and green of the foliage make me wish I were somewhere other than behind a desk, though it's the vibrant red hue of the bridge that initially caught my eye, striking even in thumbnail form.
