32: A Cherry Blosson By Any Other Name

こんにちは, gentle readers![*]

As you may recall, my journal entry from Tuesday featured three pictures of the sakura that were taken on my Toyama outing that morning. The post ended with a promise of more, if there was interest. That interest has been expressed, so here I am to make good on that promise! Please to be enjoying!

Sakura, sakura everywhere!

Besides the lovely cherry blossom, there is a gorgeous plum blossom tree on the right!


Another close up!


This statue in the park caught my eye -- more on it below!


Change of perspective -- looking up from the ground!


The road goes ever on and on...


As mentioned above, the statue of the girl in the park grabbed my attention, being beautifully framed by a halo of petals and blossoms. That said, I have absolutely no idea who she is or why this statue is there. There was no signage present and, even if there were, I doubt that I would have been able to read it! Thus, dear friends, I am offering one thousand points to the first person with Google-Fu strong enough to solve the mystery and uncover her secrets! Happy hunting!

Now then, tis off to bed for this Nomad! The T2K collaboration meeting -- latest in a popular series -- begins in the morning!

I'll be okay. I bought this t-shirt (http://unitednuclear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29_55&products_id=434) - I wish I'd known it existed before I was nearly done with radiation treatments last year. I know the LINAC techs, and probably the radiation oncologist herself, will get a giggle out of it. (And, since it's the proper "magenta" and yellow, I won't have a problem wearing it with purple leggings!)

Yes, I'm still looking forward to reading that card in 2047. Don't buy me one for 2147 yet, though... the paper would probably deteriorate by then :-D

Your travel photos, and many of your other posts, always make me smile!

Ooooh, excellent shirt! I like!

Also: Hope you enjoy the latest journal entry! Is posted now... and you even get mentioned! :-D

United Nuclear has some shirts with the classic "atom" design on them, as well as one that says "Want to see my Death Ray?" - and they'll also sell you the parts to build a Death Ray :-)

Yes, I see your newest post, and I've already commented on it! Thank you!!!
