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

Hallo Kathy! Du bist wirklich Spezialistin fur close-ups! Wunderbare Blumenbilder! Ich habe dein 'Spiel' mit Farben und Licht so gerne! Schwierig, in solchen Meisterwerken das 'favorite' zu finden: vielleicht das zarte 14? Wir gratulieren zu diesem Herz erfreuenden Album! Mit lieben Gruessen, Heinz und Kaethi

Dearest Kathy, you have done it again! Your macro shots are the best I have ever seen - so crisp and such brilliant color, and the flowers too are incredible. With your charming captions there is simply nothing not to adore about this album. It's so nice to see some new work from you - I've missed you! Love and admiration, Beth

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
