Gorgeous album Sam, thanks for your visit to my cc entries. I love Autum, maybe because we don't have anything like it here in the tropics. I ##### I can visit New England soon and have a feast for the eyes. Best wishes, Gaby

You have put together a beautiful album, and I enjoyed every picture. I was trying to find a picture that didn’t have a comment and couldn’t find one. Norm

What a gorgeous album, Sam. I love the quote. It's so perfect. Fall is my favorite time. I'm always so sick of the hot summer. Late fall when it really begins to cool down is so refreshing. I love all the colors. Sarah Duke Gardens looks like a wonderful place to spend a day, or a week! You have captured its beauty so well. You have a lot to choose from in this album for our current challenge on Fall. Have a great week, Sam. ..Betty

Recaptchas were the only thing that stopped me from commenting on every photo. Isn't it fun when you concentrate on figuring out one of those bastids, only to be told "Incorrect reCaptcha, Please try again?":( Meanwhile, this was nothing less than an extraordinary autumn album!

Hello, Sam, As you could no doubt tell from my comments, I have loved my return visit to your gorgeous album on the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in autumn. Thank you very much, once again, for your careful work in compiling it and your generous sharing of your artistic gifts! Many thanks, as well, for your insightful comments on my pair of albums on gardens, landscapes, and buildings in autumn, which I greatly appreciate! (The garden set, "part I," was partly a retrospective collection of my own autumn favourites, while partly a chance to slip in some new pictures from gardens, such as Longue Vue and Biddulph Grange, that I have not yet had the time to prepare a complete album on. Part II is predominantly a "retrospective anthology.") I am overwhelmed by the time and effort that you have spent on all of your comments. Your identifications of some of the plants, including the purple hyacinth vine, are very helpful; once I catch up with writing Christmas letters and cards, I'll go back and add the information to the relevant pictures, crediting you, of course. I also plan to return to your pictures before the end of the year. In the mean time, I hope that all of your Christmas preparations will go very well! --Warm wishes, Rebecca

Hi Sam, I just finished viewing this beautiful album. The Sara Duke gardens looks like one of those places that the hardest thing to decide is what not to take a picture off. Every shot was beautiful.

My Journey through this lovely album has given me much delight, well presented with some beautiful pictures. Well done and Thank you for your good work. Shirley

Hi, Sam, Thank you for this outstandingly beautiful collection! The Sarah P. Duke Gardens are clearly a joy to wander through at any time of year. I look forward to your continuing pictures at different seasons from this varied and idyllic garden. The most difficult challenge has been selecting particular pictures to comment on, as each one is so lovely -- please forgive my resulting delay in responding as I studied, pondered, and dithered! I expect that the comments in my current round will be just a sample, as I plan to return for more another time. Thanks very much for your wonderful comments on my pictures of Blacy, in Burgundy. It is always rewarding to hear from you! I hope that you will enjoy another beautiful autumn week! --Warm wishes, Rebecca

Another gorgeous album Sam!! Will likely see these gardens in person soon - have friends that live in NC half the year. Burrrr - up here so they wimp out in favor of the moderate weather the Carolinas afford in winter. Hugs from Michigan, DeeAnne :)

Hello Sam! This time of year is so beautiful and it's nice to see you have been out sharing your lovely photos with us! Mother Nature sure has a way of showing off doesn't she? Thank you so much for your visit to my "Balloon Fiesta Albuquerque NM 2011" album! It was my first time and I was in AW of all the beauty that surrounded me. It was a fun time for my husband and me and I'm glad we had the chance to get away. I wish you and your family a lovely Thanksgiving this year! Even though it's a busy time of the year, my camera is still close by! Have a great weekend! Deb

Hi Sam. I'm taking my lunch break in front of this wonderful album of the Sarah Duke Gardens. What a refreshing view for a hot, muggy afternoon in Havana (Can you believe it's 85 degrees now?). Mockingbirds are extremely territorial and tend to shoo away other birds in their areas. That's why they mimic other birds' chirps. As far as the owl is concerned, I got a lucky shot because I war exploring a cave with my son and he spotted the own perched on that rock. They are very elusive subjects to photography -same as bats- because of their nightly habits. Thanks for the visit to my bird collection and you too have a wonderful weekend, my dear friend. Stay tuned! Jorge.

Wonderful place to take your beautiful shots, dear Sam! We hope to going in North Carolina, in Autumn, a day! Perhaps the next fall 2012! We keep many marvalous souvenirs of this place in Summer, when our kids were younger! Thank you very much for your lovely visit in my 3 PAW! Your friend from Quebec City, Canada, Huguette

Looks like your fall colors were better than mine. I was pleased but the locals say it was not up to par. Great album.
