Hi Galit, What a lovely story, not only about the old lady, but also of the legend of the bridal wreath. Wonderful photos,(as always), loved the close-ups of the flowers. Now have several super new screensavers. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful tree, and its interesting history with us. So pleased that my 'rainshower' pictures gave you so much pleasure, I too wish we could send the wonderful fragrances with our photos.:-)). Yes, I have found my macro. Still making a few mistakes, but hope practice will make perfect! How are Idith and the little one? How's Grandma? Hope you are all well and contented. Send lots of love, Sheila.

Galit, you have this amazing ability to get your viewers' attention with a story that is so interesting they just HAVE to read on, which means they also go right through to the end of your album. This is a very great talent which, together with your excellent photography, would make you a first class photo-journalist. I found it all very fascinating. Thank you and a big hug, Peter in Western Australia

Hi Galit! Wonderful Photos and a Beautiful Story, both perfectly combined into a well-presented album as only you know how!! Well done and thankyou for sharing this lovely legend and your stunning Myrtle images. You are a real lover of Trees. Yes, there are over 700 species and varieties of Eucalypts and they have many different types of bark -- smooth, rough, stringy, black, grey, brown, etc.. You will have to visit Australia and have a look for yourself.. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hi Galit!! that was just gorgeous and the lovely commentary was very touching and captivating. the Myrtle tree and its' beautiful flower were a joy to behold and I felt like I was in a Fairy Tale. The flower is just spectacular...soft and beautiful like your photos. Another of your wonderful albums with a touch of the ever unique. Great shots of a magnificent tree and tks also for your lovely words re the kittens. I may write Eti like u said...!!

Galit you have a way with words and images. How talented you are! Are you the old lady? If so you are young again! You have so many positive things to say (my albums) you are an inspiration to me and I am sure to others. You have found the fountain of youth in your perspectives, your attitude and how you treat others. Enjoy the day! Eti

Hello Galit, once again and this time it's to thank you for your more than generous comments in my Walyunga album. It was indeed a great day out, even though we didn't get quite as far as we had intended, but once Betty's arm comes out of the plaster we can re-do it. Thanks again doll! Hugs, Peter
