Hi Kathy. Welcome back! Great to see you with us once again and I hope those problems are now well and truly behind you. You talk about my roses, but yours are just delightful and this has long been an album where I have enjoyed spending time. Always good to see new varieties, most of which we don't seem to be able to grow over here. But these pics of yours would all have been before you started using a D70, right? Be interesting to have a few comparision photos sometime. A friend has lent me his D70 for a few days and I'm still battling to get used to the weight! It's even heavier that my old Nikon F4 (which I still have). Hope all is well - haven't heard from you for a few days - hope the black cockatoos I sent over didn't scare you away!! LOL. Hugs galore, Peter

Hola Kathy! Me encantan las rosas! ¡Qué bonitas!, Hasta aquí llegó su aroma! La primera foto es una maravilla, la 13 es preciosa! y la 15, la 19 y la 20 son mis otras preferidas! Hay que ver qué preciosas estan las rosas de tu jardín, este año en el nuestro había muy poquitas.... Un fuerte abrazo, Tatiana

Hi Kathy! Please, please, don't hurt yourself girl! Your comments on my featured album were so cute, and you have such a wonderful way with words that makes us smile! :-)) Thanks for the congratulations; it was a big surprise this morning. I love the roses from your garden. I miss mine very much this year. We had to give up growing roses because of some "old age" health problems (nothing major--just aches and pains) and roses are so demanding. They're well worth all the work, but not pain!!! :-(( I'll just enjoy viewing albums as beautiful as yours and I can get my rose garden fix that way!! Lots of hugs, Sharon

Hello Kathy, Many thanks for the kind words in my guestbook. You must have a lovely rose garden! Like you, my favorite is Double Delight. There's just something about it. It's sooooo beautiful.....and fragrant. This is a wonderful album, Kathy, and I'm very glad for the opportunity to have seen it. After answering my guestbook entries, I'll be back to view MORE albums. Greetings and warm wishes from Sharon in Virginia

said montycarlo54 2005.07.19 at 00:32:58 PDT

Hi Kathy and you're a doll! You are so forthcoming with your praise of my albums that were it not for the fact my head is now too old to be enlarged it would certainly be swollen by your comments. Good on yer sport! Incidentally, in our garden we, too, have Double Delight, John F Kennedy and Ballerina Roses plus I am pretty certain we have a couple of others that you have also. Catch you later, meantime love and hugs, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.07.14 at 04:01:02 PDT

Your Roses are really beautiful. I have only 3 rose bushes. My favourite is a climber. I dug it up 35 years ago by an abandoned gas station. I believe it is called the apothecary rose. It has a wonderful fragrance. I gather the petals each year to make pot pour-ri. Thanks for sharing this lovely album. Sandie

said zzandra107 2005.06.15 at 23:02:06 PDT

Dear Kathy, I was delighted to find your comments in my guestbooks. I do like people who write more than the usual two-three lines. You must be real happy to have a garden and roses in it! Though I know that they are difficult to raise as they tend to get lots of bugs, but when they bloom they are a reward. Your roses ARE beautiful !!!If I were to choose favourites, I woudn't choose them by appearance, but by fragrance. If you can use inside the house a diffuser of aroma oils and use rose oil - well, it is divine! Did you ever try to make rose jam? In my homecountry back in Europe it is quite a goody! Specially on lazy summer days!I hope you might add more to this album. Please, let me know if you do. A big friendly hug from Gabriela

said hircock100 2005.06.05 at 00:53:50 PDT

Hi Kathy. They are beautiful roses and unlike me, you can name them. I know mine are roses but that's about it. Thanks for sharing. Al...

said shortshooter 2005.03.16 at 03:15:32 PST

Hi Kathy, found my way here from another guestbook entry. Love your roses 7 the other macro album & so nice to know they are from your garden. If you are able to pop by, I have a rose album from my garden in UK + several other albums of flowers in my garden but most are not macro. Eric

said ericy102 2005.03.14 at 13:01:03 PST

Hi Kathy! Thanks so much for the sweet words on my featured album today. As I've said before I love your rose album. Double Delight is one of my favorite roses; it is so fragrant and the colors change from bud to full blossom. Thanks for the reminder of beauty to come in a few months here in the cold Midwest! :-) Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New year, Sharon

said sharonmyphotos 2004.12.24 at 13:10:39 PST

Hi Kathy! Enjoyed this beautiful album of Roses. You have a lovely collection of varieties and colours. Great shots too, and I was pleased to find that I am not the only one who has bugs on my roses. Somehow, the camera manages to find all the minute insects, the wind damage to the petals, etc. Thankyou for sharing and Warmest Wishes for Christmas. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy 2004.12.18 at 23:46:19 PST

Kathy. Many thanks for the tip re photos of Prague. I've had a quick look and it has whet my appetite for more. I've also had a sneak browse through some of your albums and we share a common interest in both roses and scenery, so I have added you to my favourites so's I can browse the rest of your albums at leisure. Do you have any Aussie favourites??? LOL Peter from Western Australia

said georgieboy98 2004.11.27 at 03:54:26 PST

I see that you are a lover of roses like we are. Your picture #1 surely looks like a double delight rose. When you get a chance, visit our site and you will find many, many pictures of roses. Greetings...Trudy

said hamiltrudy 2004.09.23 at 18:06:56 PDT

Carissima Kathy grazie infinite per le tue affermazioni al mio album. Sono sempre entusiasta a guardare le tue immagini splendide ed indovinate dai rari colori. Complimenti vivissimi e saluti da Portorose Ondina

Hi Kathy! Thanks for visiting and signing the guestbook. I love hearing from people from all over and viewing the photos that they share. Your comments were very kind. Thank you. Your roses are beautiful. I have a hard time being satisfied with the rose pictures I take, but yours are great as are the photos in the other albums. You have a good eye and you try new things. I certainly appreciate that. Thanks for sharing and stop by again. I'm always adding... Mike In SC

said josephnbrown 2004.05.31 at 16:00:33 PDT

Dear Kathy, I read your caption and I must tell you that I want perfect roses for my photos, if I can, I yank off the imperfect petals, if not, I don't take the photo! I will never rip off another petal without thinking of YOU and your lovely photos, even though they are not perfect!!! Kathy this album is beautiful, and I even liked the last photo with the bugs, it made it very interesting! Thank you so much for your kind words in my featured album yesterday! I really appreciate it!!! Hugs, Candy

said lynne294 2004.04.02 at 20:49:57 PST

Hi Kathy! What a stunning collection of roses! My all time favorites are double delights - for their beauty and scent. Incidentally it's one of those rare grafted varieties which is scented. Thanks for sharing these beauties. Do have a peek at mines too. You'll love them. Regards & God Bless. Samad

said tfrarug 2004.02.22 at 00:50:30 PST

Hello Kathy Even without sunshine she is beautiful! One of my favorits here, a very beautiful rose and maybe becouse of the light that's so different - and the dark background. Finnish, Swedish, and English even some German are the languages I speak, but unfortunately only understand some Spanish, but don't speak - as an answer to your guestion. Warm greetings now from Portugal, quite chilly down here now, but very beautiful still. All the best - Antti

said anttisarki 2004.02.18 at 11:29:57 PST

Hi, Kathy, - Where have you been all my Webhots life? What a magnificient collection of roses! Your garden must be the prettiest spot in your neighborhood! I also enjoyed some of your other albums! Thanks for your entry in my guest book. You are far too generous in your praise of my work and also far too modest about your own! You are right - I also hail from what once was Czechoslovakia - and have been making return visits each year since 91.- Some of your roses now grace my screen saver collection and I plan to make return visits to your albums from time to time.All my best from Florida/New Hampshire! bruno PS I would like to tell you about a picture enhancement I use - if you would care to contact me at my email shown in my home page.

said francismi 2004.02.14 at 15:39:35 PST

Hello Kathy thanks for visiting my sight and your kind words. I've enjoyed your photos very much, you are a wonderful artist yourself. You have a tremendous flare for drama in your photos. I see also that you love cobalt blue glass I collect a bit of it myself. Loved your colored glass bottles on the shelf and now I want to go vacation in Mexico too!!

said vtpics 2004.02.14 at 05:55:01 PST

It's been pretty cold here for some time now, so I really appreciate your beautiful roses. The colors are just wonderful! I love them all, but I kept coming back to White Greenish rose and Double Delight! Beautiful, just beautiful! Vicky from Pa.

Hi Kathy - thanks for visiting my latest album and leaving your nice note. I love all of your photos - especially the roses! I have a hard time getting the colors right when I try to photograph mine. I'm adding you to my list of favorites - can't wait to see more! Best regards - Beth (from Northern California)

Thank's for your message Kathy! You are to hard with today featured albums... they are beautiful! Today the snow don't fall, but yesterdy there is a hour of storm. I take only one shot that I love: a girl with a red umbrella under the snow. The others photos instead are to grey! I'm happy that you can shot your roses; they have wonderful colors!!

said tfrarug 2004.01.27 at 00:58:15 PST

Kathy, Thanks for this beautiful collection of beautiful roses. #1 has an exquisite luminosity. #6 and #8 are especially appealing to me because of the colors and the "tear drop" on #6. Great work! Debra
