  3. I really like the statues and his grave. I love rocks and that is one nice rock on his grave especially with the quartz veins running through it.

  4. The quarts veins make the stone appear to be wrapped with a cord. It's marvelous!

    I'm thinking of doing a separate page of entries that would show all the haiku stones alone the way.
