Sweet Little Flowers on the Active Volcano !

by Kazu

We found a bunch of small plants with flowers blooming in the shade of the rock beside the trail. So pretty flowers colored violet and white appeared to the sunny side. 

It must be tough for such plants to grow on the surface of the active volcano but they made it and were there to stay. 

Delicious culinary delights sourced locally in Hakodate City and adjacent towns and ocean would be waiting for us. We walked down the trail being thrilled and envisioning.
