This is another that suffers badly from compression down to 100kb, losing much of its delicacy. I have to up the contrast a bit more than I'd like to try to keep it together at that filesize. ;_;

Icon ^_^: I got a statue of Rakka on my Japan trip. It's the physically biggest thing I brought home. ^_^

My parents' old house in CA had a gigantic one growing over most of a patio cover. Great for shade. Also great for tracking the flowers into the house all the time and trying to start fire with a magnifying glass in summertime.
