Hi Dar, wow so many lovely photos. I really like the black and white shots with a dash of colour, and an orb!!!! What's a castle without an orb!!! LOL. Just wish the rest of us could have been with you two for this very special day out. Love and many hugs Chris and Jay

Hi Dar, well you like Castles and now you have dined in one, it looks a very nice place to celebrate birthdays, the only pity was I could not be with you both for the occasion, my spirit was all the same, they have made a good job of reburbishing it after the fire, you must see if you can have a meal free for advertising it here on Webshots lol, take care my friend, and God bless Hugs, Ken #####

Hello Darlene again! Another nice album! This beautiful Castle Restaurant is so far away for us... we would like to have a dinner there! It looks like a museum, you show us beautiful details! Is the pretty princess from your family? Didn't you find there any ghost or did you leave before 12pm? :-))) Thanks for sharing this pleasant place! Best wishes, Henri and Käthi

Fabulous Beardslee Castle album but the 'Princess' is by far the highlight of this album. Lorrie

Hi Dar,,,, your photos here are very well taken. You have such a good eye for photography. I will have to check this place out sometime if I am ever in that area. There were a few that i really liked but i dont know which numbers they are but the blue window frame and the red rose are awesome. Looks like you and Claudia had a great time. Hugsss,,,, Christy

Hello Darlene... Thanks for the grand tour, I so enjoyed this USA Castle that feed you as well. I am going to try and make Chicken Marsala tonight, sounded really good to me! Great album girlfriend. Hugs, Laura

Hi! What a great album! The pictures are just so beautiful... I love old houses and old castles, and I like to wonder about everything that's been going on there through history! Oh, and the meal looks very good, my favorite food!

said hilla79 2006.04.13 at 04:06:40 PDT

Hi Darlene! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on my featured abum! I appreciate it! Thank you also for the tour of Beardslee castle. You are right: the atmosphere is amazing, and you have captured it very well. I loved the manipulations you did with color, and also the princess! Take care my friends. Hugs galore and Happy Easter.

said orlyyahalom 2006.04.13 at 08:40:24 PDT

Hello Darlene, what an enchanting album! This is the stuff that fairy tales are made of! I especially like #s: 1, 14, 15, 18, 19, 26, 28, and 30 are amazing! Thanks so much for the invitation! Love & hugs, Candi

said candistackable 2006.04.13 at 09:23:58 PDT

Hi Darlene, Beardslee Castle is unique and marvelous. We will have to get directions and visit the restaurant sometime. You have taken some beautiful photos. I especially like the B&Ws with the color point of focus. Very creative. Wonderful album. You had a great subject to work with. Be happy and well, Ray

said rrayr55 2006.04.13 at 09:37:25 PDT

Ciao Dearest Darlene, This album is one of my favourite haunts that I love to visit, when time permits me. your Images bring out so much of Beardslee Castle's Intriuging & Beautiful Gothic Personality to The Veiwer, such as myself.. In all Honesty Darlene I can,t single out a favourite image in this Album, & Lord knows I have tried:-)... but it doesn,t work as This is more Like a visual Fairy Tale Book.. I have downloaded onto my moniter & Play as a slide-show with Classical Music or Phantom of The Opera Selections.. It's a really cool way to step into your images & bring them to life in different story forms depending on my mood & When I had My Friends Little 7yr old Daughter Jada visit me, I put on the soundtrack to beauty & the beast & add a few fairie tale artwork images I made for her & Jada just loves it, so do I entertaining her. So many Warm Heartfelt Thanks Dear Darlene for creating this Enchanting & Magical Album ... Have a Most Blessed & Prosperous Easter Full Of Gods Overflowing Love & Joy, With much Fondess in Friendship, Everfaithfully Bella.

Wonderful album! I visited Beardslee Castle lately (virtually) by visiting Claudia's visit there. How nice that the two of you got to go together. Your albums are somewhat the same but also very different, very enjoyable to view both of them. I love your cobalt and yellow photos, the princess and also one red rose. You did a terrific job of taking us with you on this visit. Thanks for sharing. Warmest Wishes, Candy

Dear Darlene, I love your album from this wonderful restaurant especially your inventive use of colours on the black and white shots. You two sure had a great time. Hope you have had a great Easter, Love and hugs Jill

Hi Dar, I'm so sorry that I'm late getting here. Have had a few problems. Your play with colors here is great. What a nice and pleasant album and it looks like this is great place to visit. Thanks for taking me along. Much love and hugs, Sharon

Thanks Darlene, I had to make do with what the day offered :o) Glad that you liked my captioning and photoshopping :o) Ciao! Roberto

said rodemicheli 2006.04.18 at 05:46:33 PDT

What an awesome album Darlene. You captured it magnificently. It reminded me of a German restaurant we went to while in California - The Tyrolean which is in Ben Lomin (I think I spelled it right). They made each dinner from scratch and it was well worth the wait upon receiving ones dinner. They had a large closed in porch dining that had a huge redwood tree going right through. Just fantastic. Hope I can get to New York sometime in order to dine at Beardslee Castle as it is very inviting. Hugs, Janet

said uptonx 2006.04.18 at 10:38:33 PDT

Hi Darlene, That looks like an amazing place to dine. I loved your pictures, especilly the black and whites with just a touch of color. Nice touch! Hugs, Cynthia

said cayowza 2006.04.18 at 15:37:56 PDT

Good Morning Darlene. This is a beautiful album. The Princess is just beautiful. I so enjoyed the journey with you. Thanks for sharing. By the way, I have re-added you as a favorite. So how in all the mess WS has had, I never got you back on my favorites list. Hope all is well with you and your family. Lynn, Oregon/USA

What an awesome place. Love the photos and can only imagine the history. Thanks for sharing, hope dinner was good too. Garry

<font color='indigo'>Hi Darlene. I had to do a double take on this album. A castle in America..... What a novel idea for a restaurant and a fab setting. Loved your shots, #28, 29 & 30. Great work Darlene. I've called also to say thank you for calling the day of my Easter feature. I was so happy to hear from you. I left for North Yorkshire that very same morning, so sadly missed out on all the excitement of receiving the g/b entries. Returned home though to a staggering response. My most popular feature to date. Sending out my replies and editing my holiday pics is going to keep me busy for quite a while. Take care. </font> <font color=#C71585> Luv n'hugs, Jayne xx </font>

said pennylane157 2006.04.22 at 11:03:30 PDT

Hi Darlene, when I looked at this album, this casle looked familiar to me and it took me a while that I already visited an album with pictures taken there. After searching a little bit more, I recalled that it was in Claudia's album. Now that I reaize that you were there together, it was even more interesting to see your perspectives of the same place in the same time. I must say that I liked both albums very much. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Thanks also for your very kind words in my new album of Plitvice lakes. I'm glad you liked it. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Yair.

Hi Darlene! If ... I can ever have a dinner ... or simply a simple lunch ... or even the simpliest request ... sitting here for half an hour for a cup of coffee ... THIS IS ALREADY TOOOOOOOO PERFECT FOR ME! Thank you so much for bringing me to this warm and cozy place! CS :o)

said csfoto 2006.05.01 at 05:26:44 PDT

Hi Darlene! What a wonderful castle and a beautiful set of photos! Would certainly be a heavenly place for a restaurant - you and Claudia must have had a wonderfful time :) I will have to now go check out Claudia's album as I hadn't realised you both went there. Really impressed by your beautiful b&W photos with the touches of colour - absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the fireplace warming up the cold room :) Thanks also for your comments in my guestbook - hope you are going well too! Hugs, Kate

said klb49200 2006.05.02 at 20:38:56 PDT

Hey Darlene, oh how I'd love to have a meal at this place! What an awesome restaurant this is. You made it look so appetizing, too. The still life, I love. The chicken marsalla I can taste on the tip of my tongue (one of my favourite dishes anyway)! Thanks for the invite, who's getting the check????!!Ok. my treat, that's the least I can do! Take care, Marita

Hello Darlene, Thankyou so much for your G/B entry in our twins and Grandchildren. very much appreciated. Your album of Beardslee Castle is so wonderful. Beautiful photography. A Wonderful album and very interesting. Lot's of Love and best wishes. Ray and Eileen.

Hi Darlene, What a fascinating place that I've never heard of before and you and your special eye found all sorts of things of interest and the added effects are neat too. I went to the Otesaga in Cooperstown today on a senior bus trip. That town has a treasure trove of photo possibilities for a much cooler day than today's HOT and Humid 92 degrees. And yes, would love to get together with you and Claudia soon. Will email you further. Donna
