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!


[*] That's simply "konnichiwa", or "hello", written in hiragana characters.

Here's the message I get when I click on the statue picture:

You don't have permission to access /~mmalek/pictures/LJ/Sakura/Sakura-07.JPG on this server.

EVERY other picture I can access. Is most strange!

Aha! Thank you for explaining! For some reason this picture -- and only this picture -- did not have its permissions set to make it viewable. Not sure why it ended up as an anomaly... but, thanks you to you, I have been able to fix the problem!

Go ahead and copy it now, hon. It should be just fine...

*hugs*

Huzzah! *steals*

Hey, there's writing on that statue! However, I cannot read kanji and it's toward the back of the base. Does anyone else see this?

Aha! Good eye you have there! I'd not noticed the writing myself -- either in the picture or on the statue itself!

Hmmmmm... Perhaps we now have a clue!
