Hi Dar, gorgoues lilies and the frog is just so cute. At least it means things are OK in the environment when you see frogs. Grabbed a couple of pics for my desktop. Love and Hugs my friend Chris and Jay

Hi Darlene, What beautiful photos of nature's simple beauty. Gorgeous colors with the flower, lily pads, water, and froggy combinations. Loved it. How is the ankle doing? Hugs, Donna

said debkd 2006.07.23 at 05:29:45 PDT

Nice album, Darlene. An old frog pond, what a place to watch the world go by. I've tried getting a good frog picture and just can't seem to sneak up on those little green creatures. :-) Alan

Dar, your Lily Pond album is beautiful. I love the toads! Lily Ponds are so wonderful...always something new to see. Loree

said sodapop90 2006.07.23 at 07:02:48 PDT

Hello Darlene. This is truly a wonderful Lily Pond album. The frog added such a wonderful element to this album. You have some great images of him doing his froggy thing! lol Thank for sharing. I have a great time looking around. Also, I want to thank you for coming by and leaving those wonderful messages regarding my FMOW! It was nice hearing from you. Best wishes, Lynn

said 1seahag 2006.07.23 at 07:07:49 PDT

Just beautiful, girlfriend! You have such a great style - I loved every one of the pictures! Maybe I'll actually get out to see the pond somewhere along the line! Take care and hugs galore! -claudia

said gardenlady110 2006.07.23 at 13:14:01 PDT

This album reminds me of a visit to Our Lady of Fatima shrine we took about 7 years ago with my sister Pat. Lovely album.

said janehrivera 2006.07.23 at 19:54:34 PDT

Hi Dar. What a wonderful album. Your photos of the lilies and the frog are super. Bright, clear and colorful. Great one, my dear friend. Love n hugs. Sharon

said sharwils2 2006.07.24 at 06:21:52 PDT

Darlene! Love the frog pics! He seems to be quite the character! LOL The lilies and the pads are stunning! Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of this place with me. Ranae

said msfitzfotos 2006.07.24 at 09:36:49 PDT

Hello Darlene. Loved all your froggy pics and the gorgeous water lilies. Beautiful contrast of colours, which you captured so very well. I've also called to thank you for signing my Whitby feature. Features are fun but it's the friends that call with their kind notes that makes the day extra special. Well, I'll be leaving for the USA next Sunday 30th. Visiting Las Vegas where I'll be meeting up with Loree (greenhorngrl) and then travelling up to Wyoming with her. Really looking forward to the trip and the opportunity for lots and lots of photos. Take care and enjoy your summer. We're having an exceptionally hot one here in England with temperatures in the 90's. We're usually lucky if we reach the mid 70's, so you can see that it's a scorcher for us. We haven't had a summer this hot for many years. I suppose it makes up for the very long and bitterly cold winter we had. Better plod on with my thank yous if I'm to get them all done before we leave. Take care. Hugs, Jayne xx

said pennylane157 2006.07.24 at 10:26:31 PDT

Dear Dalene, Wow I am so glad you are able to get about well enough now to get to the pond and sit a while watching the frog prince on his lily pad ;o) I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures in this great album. Take care now. Love and many healing hugs Jill

said jillbatchelor2 2006.07.24 at 14:10:13 PDT

Hello Darlene, Wonderful album - well done! That was a very well-behaved frog to pose for you like that! Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Mandy (UK) PS: Sounds like you haven't been well - I hope you are feeling better really soon! Speedy recovery!!

said mistywisp 2006.07.24 at 20:13:47 PDT

My Dear Friend what an exquisite album, thoroughly and definitely a big Ah!!!!!, thpe of affair. I think that I would also have been more intersested in the antics of the little green creatures, rather than the beautiful water lilies, I loved it all and full credit for not falling in the pond with only one leg. Hope you are getting on your feet again and look forward to our next chat, Ken Hugs and tadpoles and small small frogs, #####

said hircock100 2006.07.25 at 03:37:29 PDT

Good Morning Darlene, What a fabulous album. Judy(ladybug) directed me here knowing my fascination and love for frogs and I am so glad you she did. I love every shot in this collection and these little guys give us such wonderful smiles. I am very happy I stopped by for this visit with your fabulous photos. Take Care and have a beautiful day.

said rainingviolets 2006.07.25 at 07:06:51 PDT

Dear Darlene, These water lillies are beautiful but I especially enjoyed the little frogs that you captured in the cutest little poses. You did a terrific job on this album, thank you so much for the invitation to view it. Big Hugs, Candy

Dar, You've outdone yourself. This is a real great album, every picture a favorite. I've finally gotten my camera back out, dusted off the cobwebs and started figuring out how to use it again. Got one album to post, two vacation trips scheduled so look for more soon. Miss ya gal and although we don't seem to talk anymore you'll always be my friend at heart. Keep in touch, Garry

said railfan50 2006.07.29 at 07:57:50 PDT

Dear Darlene! This album is a winner! Excellent macro quality as usual, and some amazing poses of the little guy. Your captures raise a smile after the other! Way to go!! Thank you again for your warm and caring words. We are getting a bit used to the situation. It's not normal yet, but I find encouragement in the wonderful messages of the WS community. Take care and Warm hugs, Orly

Hi Darlene, Enjoyed your album. I love water lilies. They are so calm, peaceful and beautiful and not so easy to access, so this album is especially welcome. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes, Kathryn Jones
