Well, you & Bob have done it again haven't you? That is such a beautiful place for taking pictures. I really loved the peonies. We used to have them back in CT Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs, Flo

Hi Sharon & Bob! You two just keep getting better and better! These photos are gorgeous! You've managed to capture new perspectives and fantastic colors and lighting. Beautiful!!!! Thanks for continuing to share these amazing gardens! Hugs and love! Jane

said peonierose 2005.05.25 at 13:32:14 PDT

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

said lynncb7 2005.05.25 at 14:13:38 PDT

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

said faithbw 2005.05.25 at 14:32:38 PDT

Beautiful garden and beautiful pictures. It must be breathtaking to actually be there. Beautiful. I'm still waiting for spring to come here in New England. I love this album!

said cwistafasangel 2005.05.25 at 15:31:24 PDT

Absolutely Beautiful, you have really outdone yourself with this gorgeous album. Paul/Utah

said pwheaton 2005.05.25 at 15:40:49 PDT

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.

said shortshooter 2005.05.25 at 16:01:58 PDT

What can i say my Friends,these are just breathtaking pictures as always!!The St-Louis botanical garden never gets boring,on the contrary,with your superb photography,it's always a joy to visit this "Little Garden of Eden".I loved the whole slideshow but #27 and 32 are quite special,great angle !!Have a wonderful day!luc

said kligon 2005.05.25 at 16:22:32 PDT

Sharon...You may think that you just keep on taking more of the same pictures, but by the list of "Favorites&q uot; on Webshots, I can see that no one is getting bored with your pictures!!! It's pretty amazing that with all the thousands of people posting their pictures here, you are the #7 favorite photographer!!! I see your albums being featured in the mini-features almost daily! Your corner of the world is lovely and you do a fantastic job of sharing that beauty with the world! So...congratulations #7!!! (That is, until we see you at #6, then #5...!!!!) Keep on enjoying your spring! Your west coast friend, Lynn

Hi Sharon, what a beautiful place. I think i would just love not only to walk through but to sit there and enjoy it for hours. The colors are so vivid and everything is so well done. Good job on the photos. You have captured the beauty of this garden. Thank you for sharing it. Claudette

said sammah 2005.05.26 at 06:11:27 PDT

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

said canary1976 2005.05.26 at 12:41:47 PDT

90 % are very good pictures

said lecovorr 2005.05.26 at 16:12:53 PDT

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!

said francismi 2005.05.26 at 17:46:45 PDT

Hello Sharon! What a beautiful album, the vidid colors seem to just jump out. I love the ducks and the pictures of the Japanes Garden.. Thanks for putting this album up...Trudy-Oregon

said hamiltrudy1 2005.05.26 at 19:50:57 PDT

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

said katifelkai 2005.05.27 at 01:48:19 PDT

Amazing . These gardens must be inspirational for any photographer but your really gifted and know how to bring out color and balance in your photos. I will be loooking at all your albums as a learning experience to improve my own photography. Really impressed..

said jchllm3303 2005.05.28 at 13:49:40 PDT

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

said lynncb7 2005.05.28 at 17:29:43 PDT

Hmmm...Looks like you've been adding new pictures to this album, too! Your albums just keep on getting better and better (didn't think it was possible!!) -Lynn

I have never seen such beautiful screensavers and wallpaper, I have been passing around your webshot site to friends of mine.I have sit sometimes for an hour and a half surfing through it just for fun.

said shaneeo 2005.05.28 at 21:57:21 PDT

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

said rrayr55 2005.05.29 at 04:30:19 PDT

Thanks Shaneeo! I'd thank you in your albums, but I see you haven't posted any yet. I really appreciate your comments and am so glad you enjoy the photos. Sharon from Missouri

Hi Sharon . . . Another gorgeous album and great compositions. I really love the tulip photos and the dogwood trees were lovely. Thank you for sharing this #1 Garden with me. I hope I can visit there some day. Y'all are great photographers.

Hello Sharon and Bob! You are great photographers, again such a wonderful flower album from the MBG!!!!! We couldn't wait to have a look at your newest pics when we saw your promising invitation (but we haven't yet unpacked, it's a mess in our house...!). We'll be back soon to have a slideshow and to walk with you through this summer flower paradise! THANKS! Big hugs, Henri and Kaethi

said oertlif 2005.06.02 at 08:34:53 PDT

Hello dear friends! What a joy to come back to your newest so special album: We love all these nice and interesting views of the different parts of this immense garden and the wonderful flower close-ups! 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! Thanks for your nice message, we'll answer soon! Big hugs, Henri and Kaethi

said oertlif_3 2005.06.04 at 00:57:48 PDT

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

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! I can't believe you & Bob have done it again!! Here it is only 9 am & you already have dozens of guestbook entries! You sure do deserve it all as you really know what to do with your cameras!! I sure would love to walk through these gardens one day. But at least I can do it via your pictures. Thanks for sharing all this pleasure. Hugs, Flo

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

I thoroughly enjoy viewing your photographs. I downloaded most of them. It would have been easier for me to select all then delete those I didn't want which were not much at all. Thanks! You brightened up my day.
