  • Hi Sharon and Bob...I don't care if you are late with a Spring album, it is worth it. I love the dogwood and I love the tulips in the rose garden. The coinbasin shot is so nice and I love the daffodils in orange and white. I like the bonze sturgeons, the azaleas in the dry garden and all of the tulips are beautiful. I love the pond and the bench for a nice rest, and the dogwoods in the English wooded garden. The blue boulder with the waterfall shot is wonderful!!! I love it. I love the drum bridge with all the pretty blossoms. The musicians in the fountain is a wonderful shot too. I love the blossoms in the Japanese garden, the beautiful purple and white tulips, the wildflower garden and the peonies are so lovely. The Iris Garden is beautiful still. The Swift Family garden is lovely also. This place is huge and always a joy to see. The dogwoods at the entrance to the Japanese Garden is beautiful. I love all the photos in the Japanese Garden. I think this is my favourite spot here and of course I download all the photos. The zigzag bridge is always a favourite too, as well as the azaleas. I love the paths and the fountain and statues. I love your album. Maybe one day I will get to see this place. Until then,thank goodness I have your photos several times a year and Candy's album from her holidays to look at all these spectacular views. hugs and much love, Barbara

  • Hi Sharon, I'm at work, so I could only take a quick peek at this album. What a masterpiece! Yes, the Colorado River is beautiful, but at 115 degrees this past weekend, I would have rather been at the Gardens with you!!! I can't wait to come back this evening and take a proper tour through your album. All I know is that I'm sure you have another winner here! I bet it's not too long before we see it featured!! Take care and God bless, Lynn

  • Sharon, I will come back soon and download your beautiful flowers:) I CAN SEE THEM! I had the tiny plugs inserted into the corners of my eyes today. No more blurry eyes! THANK YOU LORD! They will desolve in 3 months when new ones will be inserted. After five years of blurry eyes, I can hardly sit still:) LOVE & GOD BLESS, Betty

  • Hi Sharon. As usual, fantastic. I started picking favorites and got as far as no. 8 the glowing tulip and had to give it away because I kept finding other photos that I liked just as much. I love the reflection photos but the tulips, azaleas, dogwood blossums and everything else are all just so pretty. Do you and the caddy live at the gardens or do you go home some times?.lol. Another wonderful album and thanks for sharing it with me. Catch you later. Hugs for you and Hi to Bob.

  • Oh my, visiting this album makes me long to return to these beautiful gardens. Your cover photo is a prize winner, to be sure. You are so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend so much time in these gardens. We have spoken with some of the curators of the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens and they speak of MBG with awe. Thank you for your visit to our guestbook, we really appreciate your comments. Best Wishes, Candy

  • Hi, Sharon It does not happen very often that I am at a loss for words - but I am after just viewing a slide show of your beautiful photos, each one of them a masterpiece in itself. Everyone of your albums - be it about flowers, animals or travel scenery is a wonderful photo journey. It always seems it cannot get any better than that, until you surpass yourself with the next one! My screen saver collection is about to get enriched with more sensational pictures! Thanks for your guest book entry in "Gathering of Feathered Friends" - glad you enjoyed it. I just took the photos yesterday when I saw this congregation of assorted bird life and decided to walk the 50 yards to be among them and shoot some pictures. Where they had me outnumbered they did not seem to mind my standing among them. (Probably thought one more vulture did not matter). It was going to be a fun private album, when Kathy encouraged me to make it public. If only a few people can enjoy it, it will have been worth while. Good luck and best wishes toward your next one!

  • Sharon I will definitely have to move to St.Louis and check out if the colors of the flowers in the Botanical Garden are real or you color them. It is like you have a magic wand to produce these incredibly gorgeous photos....Bruno is right: you surpass yourself in every album and in every subject... # 47, 28 are priceless and then of course # 1 to 70 that means: the whole album. Unbelievable talent you have and we are all thankful for the beauty you show us each time. A big hug for you and Bob. kathy

  • Hi Sharon, I'm still working on the pics that I took yesterday, but I think we're pretty much at the end of our spring season. I'm just trying to get every last picture out of it that I can! Right now I'm mapping out our vacation plans for July. Looks like we'll be driving through Crested Butte (Colorado's wildflower capital) during their annual Wildflower Festival! So, although CA is running out of flowers, I'll get to get another fix in CO. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday with your family! Take care & hugs, Lynn

  • Hi Sharon. Waking up at 4:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep has its advantages. I am able to catch up on many of my favorite photographer's new albums. It must be so wonderful to have such a beautiful botanical garden so close by. I would spend many hours strolling through the gardens as well. I especially loved your photos of the Blue Boulder Cascade but it would be hard to pick favorites among so many beautiful photos. I am convinced that the long hard Winter has brought out the best in a brilliant beautiful Spring. Thank you for sharing your new album. Take care, Ray

Here just some of our favorite pictures: Red dogwood #1, Daffodil #6, #15 with Japanese bridge, #50 with marvelous water reflections, The colors of the water in 62, the peonies in 70!

  • Dear Sharon and Bob, a smashing album!!! Aren't you lucky to have such a place so close!!! If I were you, I would certainly move house in that magic place! Is there something that those gardens DO NOT have?????I wonder!Sure, the Japanese garden is like a painting! But the tulips, wisteria, azaleas, dogwood and so on...what glowing colours. Though this beauty would not be permitted to us if it weren't for your high quality shots! Yes, I started writing favourites, but I gave it up! About 11 shots are extremely good, with good and well balanced composition; another 8 shots I found lovely (for me), and No.47 is a stunning composition! A prize winner!What a wonderful present you made to us all!!! Thank you! Gabriela

  • Ah the beauty of flowers,butterflies,majes tic mountains, songbirds, and waterfalls! In my humble opinion, there is no beauty to compare. I have added you as one of my favorites. If you would like, I have an album titled, sculptures of all kinds. It too is a beauty; one of the unusual kinds, and it shows what mankind can do with the abilities and the resources God has given to us. lumpofclay

  • Hi Sharon and Bob and congratulations on this great feature! You have captured these joys of spring so well - I'm amazed at the color you were able to get, especially in the peonies. I'm always jealous when my mom or sisters tell me they spent the day at the Botanical Gardens, now I can tell them that I did! I never seem to be in St. Louis in the spring so this is a special treat for me. Thanks and enjoy your day. Warm greetings from San Francsico, Beth

  • Hi Sharon, A great big CONGRATULATIONS on your well deserved featured album today!! Every photo is soooo beautiful. I'm going to share in the pride of our fantastic Missouri Botanical Garden. I need to get up there this week as I am sure the roses are in full bloom and are smelling heavenly. Great job of capturing all of the spring beauty of the garden. Hope you are getting rain in your area. We keep getting these huge dark clouds and can hear the rumble of thunder and then NO RAIN. It's so frustrating when you can almost taste the rain and it just scoots on by. Take care. Love 'n' Hugs. Donna
