  • Dear Kathy, this stroll was splendid! I always am stunned by the beauty of Japanese gardens created abroad. They look so gorgeous! Those wisterias are magnificent! Later in the album the lilac jumps from the screen! I was delighted with the tour and thank you for so generously sharing with us this small paradisiac corner. Please, come visit my new albums:Iris Nurseries and June Flowers. They are both about flowers that are in bloom now, during the rainy season in Japan.Friendly regards from Yoshiyuki Tanaka

  • Sweet Kathy, it's always a joy to hear from you. I'm so happy you like my flowers - we had a short break from all the rain so I ran out to photograph as many as I could before the next deluge. It's been a year since I visited this album of yours and it's such a lovely, peaceful place. I must rememember to come here more often. Today my favorite is #26 - sheer beauty! Love and hugs, Beth

  • Hola Kathy! Casi desmayo al ver la glicina. Amo esa planta y la tuya es la mejor foto de glicinas en Webshots. Me encantó recibir tu nota. No dejes de escribir de vez en cuando. Lo más lindo de webshots son las amistades que se crean entre nosotros. Cariños desde un dia de sudestada en Buenos Aires. María Elena

  • Querida Caterina, no sabes la sorpresa que me he llevado al ver que alguien ya había visto mi álbum! Será posible? Pero si lo acabo de poner!!! Me ha dado una gran alegría que hayas sido precisamente tú quien hayas visto las fotos porque eres una persona muy amable, cariñosa y cercana. Estas fotos de Montjuïc creo que no son de las que mejor me han salido, pero las hice con tanta ilusión que de todos modos he decidido ponerlas. Por cierto, qué verdad más grande es que los maravillosos jardines que has fotografiado invitan al reposo y al solaz. Buena falta nos hace en estos tiempos de prisas. Te mando un abrazo muy cariñoso. Joana

  • Querida Kathy, qué bien me va poderte escribir en español! Me preguntas cuántos idiomas sé? Pues castellano, catalán, francés, alemán, algo de italiano, poco de inglés (y entiendo el portugués, pero no lo escribo). Y de húngaro, nada de nada :-( Me encantan tus álbums, y de éste, en particular, todas las glicinas (wisteria), que también es una de mis trepadoras favoritas (aunque algo invasiva...!!!). Quisiera invitarte a mi nuevo álbum, por ahora privado, para que elijas una rosa, mi e-mail es lulamy2000@yahoo.es (si quieres enviarme tu dirección para que te invite). Volveré para seguir mirando tus otras fotos. Hasta pronto, saludos (desde Bélgica), Luz

  • Hello Kathy! I just returned from my vacation in Italy where I met up with our friend, Ruggero, and we both said how much we love your photographs - now I return and see this wonderful new album and am humbled once again. Some day we must meet up and meet each other's kitties and see each other's gardens in person - we're only 400 miles apart ;-) Ciao and hugs, Beth

  • Me voilà !!! A wonderful album my Friend ! I like your walk in gardens and in nature and I think that your love for beauty is visible in every shot and in every comment that you put in the collection. I love your wisterias, your smilling poppy, the fight with spines of your cactus and the bleu sky of California. Great work! I think that this tours are wery BEAUTIFULS, but also uphills so I hope that you choose a good place to repose and think (like at the end of album).... anyway I see that you have look on also at cactus..... not a good idea :-) !

  • Hi kathy! What a beautiful album. I thoroughly enjoyed the slideshow. My absolute favourite is "I have my defenses" You have a large nest of Nikons!!! Mine is crying out that she wants also a big family... hush hush... Thanks for you kind words in my guestbook on the Keukenhof. Glad you enjoyed it too. It was so much fun to make the photos there with my new Nikon 8700. Everything you want was there; beautiful sunny weather, the most beautiful and proud flowers of Holland all over the place, my new love my lightweight camera which gives me the opportunity to choose with a little zoomknob whether this will be a landscape or a macro… yes …no. ….?....no better landscape here…. It is all great fun! Many people entered my Keukenhof guestbook (so far 13 pages…) It’s a feast to read all those messages!! I could not believe my eyes!!! I hope you don’t mind I send you also some text which I sent to others too. Greetings and thanks for tiptoe-ing in my tulips. Anna Oldenhave, The Netherlands

  • Hi Kathy! Again a wonderful album, thanks! We love your nice comments! We had a beautiful trip with you through these gardens with water and nice bridges, quiet green places, colorful flowers... We also like the cactus garden: great variety of cactus and agave plants! #10 with the fish is amazing: What is real and what is reflection? Our favorite is 'Announcing Spring', one of the photos to download! Have a nice day! Hugs, Henri and Käthi
