Hello my little lambkin and very many thanks for writing such wonderful words in my After the Storm guest book. Strangely the pics you chose as your favourites were mine, too, so how's that for a coincidence? Actually it didn't look all that bad but in fact both storms lasted best part of two days and it got VERY wild at times. I was tempted to go out and take some photos but discretion got the better of me and I stayed indoors in the dry! Now tea time so tata for now. Hugs, Peter

Kedves Kathy, nagyon koszonom a sorokat a vendegkonyvembe, tenyleg nagy kar, hogy nincsenek ott a viragok nevei. Nagyon sokat gondolkoztam azon, hogy feltoltsem-e a kepeket mielott mindegyik tudnam a nevet. Igyekszem bepotolni...Udvozlettel, Miklos Magyarorszagrol

Dear Kathy, thanks for the message to my featured album today and most of all for those "lots of hugs"! Which I treasure above all! Took a tour of your lovely and so colourful hisbiscus shots. Where could you find so many shapes and colours????No.10 is a rare combination of colours; Nos. 16 and 28 are magnificent;the colour in #30 is beyond expectation, OLD ROSE is so rare in flowers; Nos.38 an 40 dazzel me with their colours and No.46 is a very good composition.A most exquisite collection with beautiful captions. Very much your mark!!!As many sweet hugs to you, dear Kathy- Caterina - Kat from Gabriela in Japan

Mi querida Kathy, este album es asombroso. No solo es el color y la luz que tienen las fotos, sino la sensibilidad y la maestría con que has sacado cada toma. Te felicito. Agradezco mucho tu comentario en mi featured de hoy, pero estoy seguro de que tu lo mereces más que yo. No solo es tu sensibilidad y tu arte, sino tu inmensa simpatía y tus palabras siempre tan cariñosas. Eres una persona muy especial para muchas personas y como no, también para mí. La prueba la tienes en los laegos y extensos comentarios que te dedican. Ese es el signo de lo muy querida que eres por las personas que te escriben. Tu haces grande a Webshots, porque son las personas como tu, con tu simpatía y amistad, las que dan el complemento ideal a la belleza de las fotos. Se feliz amiga mía y borra de tu vocabulario la palabra Grosera, porque ese sería el último adejetivo en el que yo pensaría para definir a una persona tan extraordinaria como tu. Se feliz, muy feliz amiga mía. Que Dios te bendiga largamente para delicia de los que te queremos. Un abrazo. Jesús.

I've already commented on this album but when it was time to see you to thank you for your entry in my Yanchep National Park guest book it was only natural that I should choose this album as my platform. Glad you liked the koalas. I thought you would. I was lucky that one of the babies was more or less at eye level tucking into some tasty gum leaves. A few minutes later and he had disappeared round the other side of the tree and we had no access. So it was another case of being in the right place at just the right time and with camera at the ready! Bless you for your nice words and thoughts - I have come to be very dependant on them. By the way, it is about time for this week's lesson isn't it? Try FAIR DINKUM. It's TRUE, Fair Dinkum - I took those photos!! get the drift? Tea time, so love and hugs, Peter

Hi Kathy. I have a hibiscus tree/bush and it isn't any of the colors in this album. All of these colors are much nicer. You obviously have your garden looking great for Spring. As usual your captions are from the heart. Thanks for sharing this beautiful album. Luv from Al.

Dear sweet Kathy, I have discovered your magic formula for this enchanted album: five drops of spring essence, eight drops of beauty, a pinch of pure silk, one teaspoonful of sweetness, a ray of sunlight and a whole cup of love!!! My wonderful friend, thanks for you lovely dedication and for the magnificent beauty contained in these images. With love. Simona

Dear Kathy! So great to see a new album from you!And what an album!!What a beautiful way of praising the spring with its light, warmth, new life and hopes..You really made my day with this wonderful album of these exotic beauties...I still have snow outside my windows,and will have that for 6 weeks more..I shall not complain, though.I just came home from hibiscus,roses, mimosa and lemonflowers on Gran Canaria. And that makes your album even more special to me.. As always, my friend, you manage to thrill people with the beauty you create!All photos are with such wonderful colours and composition. I also love the comments you make..Ruggero before me said it so beautifully "they are like a mirror of your warm heart" - I can only agree with him. I feel it the same way.. It`s about time Webshots wake up and start featuring some of your wonderful albums! You deserve it so much!! Have a great day!A big hug from Elin.

Kathy - in a word, FABULOUS! We have hibiscus a plenty but there are varieties in your album that I have never seen. Are these growing in your garden? Also, of course, you must be applauded for your captions which are so important and yet so frequently ignored. The trouble with an album like this is that one simply cannot pick out any single one and say, THAT is the one I like best. I started out with pencil and paper beside me, intending to write down my preferences but suddenly realised I was writing down every single picture as it came on screen. So goodonyer Kathy girl and lets keep our fingers tightly that you score a feature! Best wishes, Peter in Western Australia PS nearly forgot to thank you for your compliments in my two latest guest books - so thank you twice over.

OH my God Caterina! You are really the Queen of flowers! An incredible collections of beauties and variety of this type of flower that I never have see in my life! Some of then are really not usual and with colors so delightful! A Great album my Friend! I know that a sentence like "it's impossible choose a favorite" is very frequent in guestbooks, but in this case I have really this trouble and I can't do a true selection..... My compliments also for your comments at shots.... I think they are like hidden messages my Friend.... they are like a mirror of your warm heart.... THANKS for this gift! UN CALDO ABBRACCIO from your T2 crazy wolf, flapper and busy bee (:-D I'm really a strange animal do you agree ? :-D ). SMACKKKKK Ruggero

My Dear Katja, if we were not such good friends, I would be green with envy right now after having viewed your latest wonderful album! As you know, I have featured hibiscus blossoms in several of my flower albums, but never have I seen such an exquisite collection of mostly exotic blossoms - where did you ever discover these? They are simply gorgeous through your excellent composition and photography - your clever captions just add the icing on the cake! This is Spring time, blossom time, and I wish Webshots would let all its other members get a taste of this album.! The colors, shapes and textures are just out of this world - and, trying to single out a favorite would be like asking which of the Hawaiian islands is the best - they all are in their own right. So I won't name any particular favorite photo - I love them all. I wish you lots of success and compliments from your friends, which, I am sure, will be forthcoming. Hugs from your Webshots friend bruno
