What a beautiful garden! I can see why you love to walk around here with your camera just enjoying you! I am specially fond of the Japanese gardens - think they are a little philosophic in its building!

Hi Sharon; Congratulations on having one of the featured albums. It is well deserved and I am amazed at the scope you have captured in this most incredible botanical garden. It is a joy to behold and I wondering why we don't hear more about the obvious treasures of St. Louis. This is a most beautiful album and I look forward to seeing more of your pictures. A great way to start my day! Best Wishes, your friend just south of Seattle, Marjie

Bonjour Sharon and Bob,i'm back browsing this superb album,dreaming of summer which for us is at least 3 to 4 months away,we have no spring up here or it's because it is such a short and ugly season that we prefer not to see it,with the snow melting,everything is so dirty that we can't wait until it'over!Meanwhile i have your amazing pictures to remember how beautiful summer can be;thanks my Friends for sharing and for your kind words on my Charlevoix updates,have a wonderful evening!Luc

Hi Sharon, Just thought I'd stop in and see how you're doing. Things continue to stay very busy here in our new home. I'm still setting up house & trying to learn a new profession. Never a dull moment! I always love looking at your beautiful photos (but, it also makes me realize how much I miss my year-round flowers in CA!) Oh well, now I am experiencing "seasons!" :-) Have a wonderful evening, Lynn

Hi Sharon & Bob, You have done a beautiful job on this album. I have been down to St.Louis a couple of times. I got a photo of the old Cardinals stadium from the Arch with the new one going up. I think I would like to come back and get a photo of the new stadium. I see the UofL basketball team is rated in the top 5 now. I have been a Louisville basketball fan for years. I want to wish you folks a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year... Darrell

These photos are wonderful. As I used to tell my revered aunt after eating a wonderful Sunday dinner, "I think you need more practice. I will be back next week for testing!" It was meant to be the highest form of compliment. You can also keep practising and I will be back again to marvel. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sharon,just enjoyed a slideshow of this wonderful floral album,thank-you so much for sharing them.I received a message from Paul Fernadez about the downloads totals being frozen,I see in his GB that you are being affected by this as well,same thing with me,my downloads total hasn't changed in a couple of weeks,I've mailed them a couple of times and all I'm told is they're working on my problem,no indication from them that most others are being affected in the same way.I know that download totals have no monetary value but I do use them as an indication of what type of photos are most appealing,Regards,Rod.

said chrisrod100 2005.08.24 at 10:58:40 PDT

Sharon: Everywhere I go on Webshots, I see that people have made you one of their favorite members and it is obvious why! You may say that you are amatures, but your work is professional quality. Very impressive indeed and a pleasure to behold. Thank you so much for stopping by my Napa Valley album this morning and signing the guestbook. I had been hoping the Downeast Maine album would be featured so this was a real surprise! Thanks for sharing such outstanding talent with us... Ken - Maryland

said mrtoastie 2005.08.24 at 10:48:58 PDT

Hi, Sharon; Your photos are absolutely stunning! All of them, but being partial to flowers I must say I was delighted by the loving way in which you photographed them. The scenery is equally gorgeous. Thank you for sharing nature's beauty. Best regards, Carmela.

Hello Sharon and Bob! Your wonderful "Shades of Summer" album is still on top in "community, seasons"! Should stay there forever! I just visited my favorite flowers in this album and had a look again on the awesomes water pictures with the beautiful reflections. Thanks for Sharon's so nice comments in our new "Flowers in Bizanos" album! How nice that we have a "Rose of Sharon" Hibiscus plant in this album! We didn't know this name! We still look forward to the "fresh egg story", but just when you have time...! Have a wonderful weekend! Lots of hugs, Henri and Käthi

SHARON, This album is so wonderfully done. I was hoping it would be featured. I thank you for looking at my featured album. It is fun to be back in webshots and a digital camera makes all the difference. Take care. Jane

Your pictures leave me speechless ... CONGRATULATIONS !!! It truly deserves all the recognitions it has been receiving!! Your shot of the lotus is like a dream that came through !!! THanks for sharing....princess (california)

said prncs104 2005.08.15 at 11:14:19 PDT

This is one of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen in 62 years!(The close up of the lotus blossom) Can I get a copy of it? All the rest are the best shots of flowers also. You are on my list of favorites. Kathy

said kdmckay 2005.08.15 at 10:37:20 PDT

Hi Sharon, Believe it, or not...I didn't get the best of the wildflower pics in RNMP as they were at the top & there was no place to pull over! It was a narrow road & the park was doing road work. I wanted to cry! I saw masses of flowers in a variety of color combination that I have never seen before & there was no way for me to get to them! But...it's beginning to look like we may be relocating to the Denver area before the end of the year to help my brother-in-law with his business. God works in mysterious ways! I was born & raised in So. Cal. & have never expected to leave. At least I know that Colorado is beautiful! Hugs and prayers, Lynn

said lynncb7 2005.08.12 at 08:50:17 PDT

Hi Sharon & Bob! Thought I'd take another tour of this beautiful garden! What a lovely way to spend a day or an entire week! I really like the sculptures. They are all great and I can even tell what they are:-))) There is a sculpture at the BLM offices in Medford that is a complete mystery and it cost $$$$$. You have both done such a magnificent job of photography and just keep getting better every single year!!! Can't wait to see your DW album when you get it ready! Lots of hugs and love! Jane

Hey Sharon! Just taking another cruise through this wonderful album! It seems like life just has us beyond busy at this time, but the flowers in this album require that I take a few minutes & slow my pace down so that I can enjoy and savor their beauty! Thank you so much for the much needed rest and restoration! There's nothing that can compare to God's beautiful creation! Hope you're having a great week! Big hugs, Lynn

said lynncb7 2005.08.09 at 12:52:41 PDT

said photoop23 2005.08.08 at 11:56:04 PDT

Thank you, for that beautiful Kemper Garden. The Flowers have a dreamy quality and seem vibrant at the same time. I am a big fan Monet and you seem to bring his visions to into such reality. If he could seen your work he might have stopped painting! You seem to have the same mindset. It's beauty you can fall into. Thanks for sharing

Congratulations Sharon. What a beautiful place and what a beautiful album! I wish we had a botanical garden like this here in Southwest Florida. You certainly capture it magnificently and throw in a Black-Crowned Night heron to boot. Maybe I'll catch it when flies south for the winter. Congratulations again on a well earned accolade and enjoy your day, Paul. P.S. Thanks for your very kind words yesterday on my Southern Utah featured album. We were in Moab seven days, spending six of those days in Arches and one in Canyonlands. The only thing that we did not enjoy about the parks was that they had no lodging facilities within them. Everything else was superb.

Dear Sharon - I last visited this album in September of last year - I can see a lot more has been added since, and I missed your latest updates.The current version of your album is just beautiful - coming from you, I already learned to expect nothing less! What pleases me most is that it got the recognition it deserved - having top billing in today's featured albums. My sincere congratulations on this being the umpteenth of your albums that have been featured. No envy there - you have earned this honor. How will you keep up with the flood of well-wishes and compliments? But that's the price of excelling and being famous! With a hug and my best wishes, bruno

You have a good eye. The lotus and several rose photos were spectacular. Makes me wish I could have seen them in person. Thanks for sharing.

P1040489: I wanted to see the whole arbor and was sorry to see it cropped off. Nice pictures overall though.

You have many lovely photos, they make relaxing wallpaper and screensavers. Some of the photos just draw the viewer right into scene. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for reminding me of one of the most peaceful afternoons of my life when I wandered into the St. Louis botanic gardens. Your photos practically convey the scent of each bloom. Thank you for sharing the beauty.

Hi Sharon. Congratulations. A well deserved honor to be featured today. The flowers are beautiful. I couldn't pick a favorite picture since they are all equal in beauty. Have a great day, Dwight. (By the way, can you read Italian?)

It's been a hectic summer and I made no summer vacation plans. Saw your album featured today on Webshots, and took a break from work to view your album. I feel like I've just had a mini-vacation at the beautiful gardens. You're now included among my favorites. Thank you. Kathy, Sacramento CA

Congratulations Sharon for this beautiful feature. Very nice photos and well composed. Have a great day. Yan/Ottawa

Hello Sharon, congratulations on having another stunning feature today. I do like to see sculpture in a garden, seems to add a touch of class to the garden. The colours in your botanic garden are always so good, I might have to get off the plane there one day to view (did change planes once at St Louis but only 35 mins on ground!). We have gardens here but rarely with so much content. However you might like to see our local "famous" garden on my new user name...ericy202 entitled " Gardens of a Royal Estate" quite different to Missouri, we live only 1 mile away & have a season ticket.
