  • Hi Bruno, CONGRATULATIONS on being featured last week with this album of a very surprising garden with so many different parts! Most I like the trees, the prickly part of the garden and the roses. You captured every part of the garden perfectly! Thanks for the wonderful descriptions and captions. I like that very much! Nice to see that little mallard coming along! :-) Galit from Israel

  • Hi Bruno, Congratulations on your beautiful featured album. I very much enjoyed your flowers and cacti. You were able to photograph the flowers in direct light without the harsh shadows which can detract from their beauty and I loved the shapes and patterns you captured in the cacti. Beautiful stuff! Greetings from Florida, Paul.

  • Thank you for a beautiful trip through the cactus. Coming from Arizona and having lived among the cactus, and desert life it is always a delight to see an album of items from that area even if they are in another state's garden. I consider that part of the SouthWest to be the most beautiful and deversified part of our United States. Would I could do so now that I am retired I'd return to that area.

You took so many nice photos at the incredible Huntington - when I was there all I could do was admire the beauty - I didn't have my camera :-( Thank you for allowing me to remember how gorgeous it is. My particular favorites of your shots are #25, 26, 52 and 77 - really great textures, composition, and all around nice to look at :-) Enjoy your day! Warm greetings from California, Beth

  • Dear Bruno,as I love gardens I found your album very attractive and informative!!! The world of cacti is not exactly attractive to me, though I must admit they make some attractive compositions put together. I love your rosese#8 and #14, next the Japanese garden (of course!) from #16 to #31, the water lilies included; the pond area with #37/38/40/41. Next I found some great shots in #45/68/76. Really, a well done work and very, very attractive! thanks for sharing. Greetings from Yoshiyuki Tanaka

  • Hi Bruno, I've enjoyed your 'The Huntington' album very much, you have captured 'the wonders in the Botanical Garden' very skillfully. I live in Vienna and there is a Botanical Garden, too, but I guess The Huntington is a bit more spacious;-) (Vienna: 100000 m2) Greetings from Vienna (Austria), Vera

    said  of veralebail veralebail 2005.06.02 at 02:36:15 PDT

  • Hi Bruno, thanks for your recent comment and for stopping by. Wow...this is a gorgeous album and so full of different flora from all parts of the country/world. Just beautiful. Of course, I love the cactus and do know the names and care :) Japanese gardens are exquisite. What gardeners they are!! Your photos are wonderful and full of color and composition. Love them all. Thanks for coming by again and I'll be back many times. Take care, Sharon/Arizona

    said  of sedona908 sedona908 2005.05.31 at 19:43:47 PDT

  • Hi Bruno. I'm sorry mate, I forgot to come back until now. I love the Japanese gardens. One could almost overdose on green. All Japanese gardens must have a drum bridge. The cacti were special. The one you took a close up of in no.54 is most unusual to me. All the prickly ball shaped ones are great. I love the pink and yellow flower in no.89 and last but not least is the gorgious flower in &quot;Beauty and the beast&quot; no.70 and again in no.74. I don't remember if you've seen my 'Japanese Gdns&quot; album but if you haven't I hope you can find a spare five minutes to have a bit of a look. Thanks for sharing with me my friend. Best wishes from down under where it is now officialy Winter. Al.

Forms, colours, sweet and soft surprise between the thorns, marvellous roses with petals of silk, and little corners of serenity and peace!!! Nothing is better than this, my friend, nothing!!!!! Warm regards. Simona

  • Dear Bruno, This album could make the joy of a botanist! Angles and composition are often perfect; Some pictures retained my attention for the subject itself sometimes strange as in 54 or the incredible 91; I loved the palms in 2, the roses 8 & 13, the Japanese garden in 17, 23, 24, 25 with the best 26, waterlilies 29 & 30, cactus in 48 & outstanding 51, the Haleakala similar specialty in 57, agaves & flowered yuccas in 58, 60, cactus in group 62, the no picnic 64 & crowded audience 68 (good comments!), 79 for the pink colour, the geometry in 68 & 91, the exquisite macro of another world 81, the century plant 45, and on end 82, 90, 94 and the well contrasted 99; I recognize in that good work your signature; Thank You for your recent appreciated comments; I have such a stock of art photos now to present that I am submerged; And we go for one month in USA/CANADA in a short time with a previous 1,600 miles itinerary, starting from Seattle on 8 of June and visiting mainly Vancouver, Washington, Nevada, Oregon up to 10 of July (back in Paris); If you want I can send You the Excel document of our project (20th trip to USA!); With my always best thoughts, Jacques

  • Hi Bruno! This album is stunning! I especially loved the photos of all the cacti (isn't that the plural for cactus?) because they are so unusual and unqiue. Not only are your photographs masterpieces, but the captions go so well with each photograph. I also enjoyed the scenes from the Japanese Garden. This is a album worthy of a feature for sure! It looks like you had a wonderful time in CA and I'll look forward to more albums from there! Have a wonderful weekend and don't mess with the alligators! :-)) Sharon

  • Bruno, we use sometimes the word &quot;masterpiece& quot; but it is never more deserved as in this your absolutely stunning, gorgeously rich , beautiful album, with 100 of the most precious photos accompanied by your humorous and witty captions, showing your extraordinary talents mastering not only your photo camera but the written English language as well which makes a feast for the eyes and the joy of laughing . Your album about this wonderful botanical garden is so complete, there have been some other approaches to this place but I have never seen such a perfect one. You roses at the beginning, the Japanese Garden further and finally the exotic display of the cacti is incredible. I do not even try to select some favorites now, but let me only tell you that I have to come back after running 2 or 3 more times the slide show. You will be featured with this one I am sure, and if not do not worry we your friends and admirers have you high and bright and thank you for your wonderful artistry. Congratulations and a very warm hug , until I return with more about this masterpiece. katja
