I just realized that I haven’t eaten a single sakuramochi this year! It’s almost the end of April! I have to eat at least one before April comes to an end!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at more of the 2015 Spring Header Photos that were sent in! You can see the previous blog here: Kahotan Post Office: Spring 2015 Edition (Part 3)

Thanks again to everyone who sent photos!

As always my inbox was filled with delights to the eyes, all overflowing with love for both Spring and GSC products! It’s still rather chilly for Spring, but these photos warm up my heart so quickly! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

It was a huge task to select just one photo to use as my Twitter header, but my final decision was Anon-san’s photo! Just look at how cute it is! ♡

Oooh!! Hime-sama!! (´□｀｡)

The gentle Princess of the Biscotti Republic, Millhiore F. Biscotti, together with the gentle blossoms blooming around her! What a lovely scene!

Anyway, as I said it was a very difficult choice, so let’s take a look at some of the other contenders!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

The blossoms by the river finally reached full bloom, so I took a photo that I’ve been wanting to grab for ages!

– Gym no Hito

I guess… she is being held up by balancing her twintails and the back of her stand on branches?! A wonderful technique for a wonderful photo! ε=(｡・д・｡)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

春暖花开，即使是文学少女也不能总窝在家里 =w=

– Niurou

As long as she has a book, she is happy to to sit and read anywhere! Reading out in the sun can be really relaxing! ♪

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Sakura Miku’s little sister arrived, so I decided to take a photo of the two of them together! Most people pick cherry blossoms when it comes to Spring, but I also think that phlox blossoms are beautiful! 

– Fuoru

The two sisters look so happy looking at flowers together! I could watch over them forever… (●´ω｀●)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I recreated the scene from episode 1 of Strike Witches 2! Yoshika flying though the cherry blossoms was such a memorable scene! I can’t wait for more Strike Witches!!

– thankspeko

I can only imagine that a clear blue sky lies on the other end of that happy gaze! I look forward to see what comes from Strike Witches next! ♪

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I hope you will like my photo about Miku.

– Sola

The colors give the photo a kind of retro-look that suits so well!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

The first one is from Shinjuku Gyoen which I visited during my trip to Japan 2 years ago. I took Miku out during the last days of blooming; it was a rather windy day, and you can really see how sad she is that the beautiful flowers are already falling down!

The other set is from Moscow. Here in Russia, spring is mainly about blooming apple trees; most of those are pure white, not pink, but a lot of people still go out to enjoy the first warm and sunny days despite “hanami” not being an officially recognized holiday (and taking place more than a month later)!

– Lishtenbird

Lishtenbird sent in a selection of lovely photos!! They were all beautiful, but I selected my two favourites for the blog!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A photo that captures the ‘small and cute’ aspect of Nendoroids!

– Gonzales

Hello to the adorable Miku-san jumping out the tulip! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ
Definitely very small, and definitely very cute!! ♡

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

The last scene of Hidamari Sketch ×☆☆☆ in figma form! Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy, but I still got the photo I wanted!

– Chan

All the characters together!! (*´Д｀)=з
Looking at all the different poses makes you realize just how many options you have with the figma series! ☆

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

One early morning the skies were beautifully clear, so I went out to see the cherry blossoms with Sakura Miku. Here she is looking out at the sunrise surrounded by blossoms!

– Under B

The lighting combined with Sakura Miku’s expression, plus the way she is turned to look at the sun! The photo really captures a very special moment in time!!  ♥︎

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A photo of Madoka-san welcoming Spring back.

– Chris

Madoka welcoming Spring with a gentle smile! ♪

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Komari-chan having a picnic by the cherry blossoms. I felt like I was out on a picnic with her!

– Nagumon

The mini picnic blanket and little accessories make for a perfect picnic scene! I’d love to eat donuts beside her! (´∀｀*)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

闻到花名

Menma looks so calm and relaxed with her closed eyes expression! Just looking at her puts my mind at ease! The little someone by her feet it also very cute!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I finally got my hands on Sakura Miku’s little sister! Her the sisters are singing under the cherry blossoms! They’re both so cute that I want to carry them out with me wherever I go! ヽ(≧▽≦)ノ

– Noumun

The two Sakura Miku sisters standing back to back! Make sure to take them to all sorts of different places! (´□｀｡)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

photo: Lovely Mayoi-chan
Mayoi loves watching cherry blossoms!

– Scher P.

A wonderful situation made with love by Scher P-san!! ♪
I feel like I’m secretly looking at Mayoi-chan enjoying the blossoms from up above her! (/ω＼)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Once again a big thank you to everyone for your Spring Photos!

I’m sorry I don’t have the space or time to put everyone’s photo up, but I promise I have seen and enjoyed each and every single one!! ♥︎

All the photos make me feel so warm and happy inside – it’s such a pleasure to look at them! I can’t wait to see more!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

So without further ado, I’m now looking for photos for my… Summer Header!!

I’m finally coming to the end of a very long string of cavity repairs at the dentist! It has taken a lot longer than I expected it to…

But anyway! Even though we’re now a good way into April, some chilly days from Winter are sometimes still cropping up! I think it’s time to make sure we’re well into Winter my taking a look at some more Spring Photos that have been sent in to me!!

As always, a huge thanks to everyone who sent in photos!! 

I know I asked for more photos of Spring in the previous Post Office post, but I never expected the number of photos that came through! I got more in a few days than ever before!! Unfortunately there are far too many for me to place them all on the blog, but I’ll be introducing some of my favourites over the course of two blogs!

Let’s get started!! 

* Lighting, etc. in certain photos have been slightly tweaked for the blog.

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

My old Miku is being a good leader and showing the New Miku her way around the cherry blossoms!

– momo201x

The way she is peering back with a big of a haughty expression captures the story so nicely! I wish I could see more of their adventures! ♡

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I took this photo at my garden, just want to show you all that Saber can enjoy springtime too. By the way I love your blog  d(-_^)

– Pshyga

Saber looks upon the flowers with a slight blush on her face! I wonder what she’s thinking…? (*´Д｀)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I found Sakura Miku enjoying some sake hidden behind some cherry blossoms, but it seems she was quite surprised to see me!

– Takurou

I can just hear her saying something like “Ah, you found me!” when I see that expression! It’s so cute! The focus and shadows of the blossoms also comes together so nicely for a really lovely situation!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I found Miku-san enjoying a nap in the Spring weather…

 – Komugi-sama

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I am from Indonesia and sadly we do not have 4 seasons like Japan has and its hard for me to replicate the cherry blossom trees.

Best of luck for you and the whole GSC crew for bringing us more Nendoroids XD.

– Kappamike

Tsukiko-chan with a lovely smile and peace sign! ♡
There might not be four seasons in Indonesia, but I can feel the gentle warmth of Spring beaming from this cute photo! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A photo that captures Spring… how about ‘Night Cherry Blossoms’!
Snow Miku is waving goodbye to Sakura Miku as Winter changes into Spring! ♪

– Tsukin Tokkai / Nanpyon

Snow Miku’s lily of the valley is glowing?! Awesome!! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！
I hope your Mikus enjoyed their night time outing!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I wanted to show Amatsukaze the cherry blossoms, so I took her out with me to the park! There was quite a strong wind on the day, so I was rather worried she was going to be blown off the tree, but I was happy with the result!

– Luka

Amatsukaze’s innocent smile let’s you know she was glad you took her out to play! It looks a bit like she is standing on tip-toes to reach up to the blossoms! Very cute! ♥︎ (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Petite Miku and a tiny flower that may soon be covered by a city.

– Scientific Name: Shirohananakurogo

A fairy-like petite Miku out with nature! Such a heart-warming photo! ε=(｡・д・｡)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Hi! My name is Aye Thiri Thaw, from Myanmar. In Myanmar, Thingyan Festival is known as Water Festival for welcoming Myanmar New Year. Padauk is the theme Flower of Thingyan Festival. It blooms only once a year in April. In Japan, Sakura flower blooms only once a year so does Padauk. Sakura Kinomoto Nendoroid is the first Nendoroid that I collected in my life. Here is her expression when she saw Padauk.

– Aye Thiri Thaw

Sakura-chan with the Flower of Thingyan to welcome the New Year! ♡
A lovely photo from Aye Thiri Thaw all the way in Myanmar!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I thought I would apply to have my photo as your header again! (｀･ω･´)ゞ This is a photo I took with Himesama while the blossoms were still in full bloom!

– Bouzu

The gentle and lovable princess matches with the pink blossoms so nicely! I should have joined you to enjoy the blossoms with her!! (/ω＼)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

This was actually taken last year! A photo of Miku experiencing Spring by finding a strawberry in the yard! It was such a strange shape that it actually looked rather cute!

– Matsu

Miku-san’s eyes are sparkling at the strangely shaped strawberry! (●´ω｀●)
I wonder if she ate it after this photo!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

What a lovely selection of photos!!

Once again a big thank you to everyone for your Spring Photos!

You can really tell how much people love their favorite characters through their photography!! It’s always such a pleasure to see!  I will still be doing one more blog on the Spring photos, in which I will decide on my new header for my Twitter account!

But for those of you who are waiting for the next theme, I’m now looking for photos for my Pre-Summer Header!

I look forward to seeing your photos!
