  • Suresh, thanks for another visit! I'm glad that you liked my new album The Walls of Jerusalem. I wanted for a long time to create that album and at last I had pictures of all murals (except for two in a school). Best wishes, Yair. PS: this you see the new improvement in the homepage of WS? it seems that once again they wish to remove the featured albums...

  • Hello gain Suresh: For me to receive two notes from such MASTER is a humbleing experience. I had a grand day yesterday and I was at the top of the world when I passed my 100.000 views, then I compare to the over 3 million of yours and I am just a little taken back, I realize what is great and what is to be a student. Thanks for being so nice.

  • Hi Suresh, thank you so very much for your nice comments on my photos - yes, I had a lot of fun taking pics of the little squirrel :) I just watched the slideshow on your "nature walk" and I am very impressed with your work. Looking at these photos makes you feel, as if you walk right along taking in all the beauty India has to offer. Greetings from Dagmar from Maine/US

  • We both seem to be nature scene lovers. I really enjoyed your pictures. Thanks for sharing. May I invite you to take a quick look at my own recent Fall Colors Webshot albums (among others)? Let me know what you think. I will be glad to read you back. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Have a nice day. Guy (Quebec, Canada).

  • Suresh, thanks for your visit to my new album featuring the frangipani tree. I like very much those flowers and had a wonderful time taking the pictures because of the smell. Since the trees are popular in India as well, I do not have to tell you how lovely they are. I'm glad that you liked my pictures, thanks for your kind words! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Yair.

  • Suresh, thank you very much for visiting my new album of Locks and for your very kind words. I'm glad that you found that album interesting. When I look at the locked doors I always wonder what's hiding behind them... Take care, Yair.

  • Hi Suresh, this is an oustanding album my friend...I commend you on remembering all the names of the flowers, shrubs etc...I will comment individually as well...Thanks for your comments on my Valentine video I appreciate that...I used Windows Movie Maker which has many enhancements as well, such as transitions...I also make PPS but WS will not allow them because of unsupported codec ...Larry

  • Hello Suresh, I found this album by coincidence. I looked at the 'most downloaded flower albums' and saw the magnificent coverpicture flashing out of the hundred pictures of that page. This whole album is filled with magic, with incredibly beautiful sceneries and wonderful flowers. Many of those flowers are well known here, but as many are new to me. If you had a walk like the pictures of it, it was a refreshing and regenerating journey into a wonderland. Thank you for your kind comments to my poor images of the erythrina speciosa. You are very kind. I still have so much to learn! Have a wonderful day! - Galit

  • Dear friend Suresh, J've neever seen before this wonderful album. The flowers of your shots are colorful and marvelous. The perfect technique of execution and the compositions make your job great. It's a pleasure looking at the album with the new slideshow working (today is the first day that it's all right...). Have a nice day. Franco from Italy

  • Suresh, I don't know what I enjoy more in album from far away lands - flowers that I am familiar with or flowers that I have never seen before. This album has a great mix of both. Lovely photos of beautiful flowers and plants - but my favorite picture is the bovine!!! Carol

  • Dear Suresh, I can see looking through this album we are of like minds and enjoy our walks happy to take pictures of plants and flowers and whatever else catches our eyes as we go along. There are so many plants I recognise in this album that grow happily in our gardens. Thank you so much for your Gb messages today I cannot decide what to do about webshots/Fotki at all so today I have uploaded the same pictures to both sites to see how they do and also how they look. I thought it would be interesting to see the differences. Thanks once again for you comments It's great to make a new friend and I will tell Peter off for certain for not telling me to come see you before LOL (It's ok we are old friends too) Take care now Jill

It is in Helsinki very near to my home, an island in the Gulf of Finland. All these cabins and houses and church etc. have been collected from different parts of my country and are now for show there. Merike (my newest pics are in lovejoy485)

  • Hello Suresh, thankyou for visiting my Green album & my local history featured album.We are lucky to live here. Found this album very interesting, some of the flowers I have not come across before but found plenty I know on page 2 & 3. The impatiens Balsamea is now a problem in UK on the wetter land & around waterways as it spreads so quickly. Your pastureland photos could almost be in NZ! Great album, thankyou. Eric

  • Hello Suresh, What a fabulous album, most of the flowers I have never heard of so it is a real pleasure to view such beauty from your wonderful part of the world. I would just love to visit and see them for myself, but your pictures have gone a long way to doing it for me, Kind regards Ken from UK

  • Dear Sir, thank you for the visit at my test album with my newly acquired camera. I understood that you did the same purchase and that this album is the result of putting into use the D70. Well, the views are much better shots than the flowers. Some of the flowers are quite beautifully shot, but I believe you've got to rethink Nos.4/8/9/11/15/19. It takes time to get used to this "serious toy", I'm constantly reading about it and trying it with various settings.I did so indoors with some trinket arrangements and I've put on a new album with my attempts at getting the best of this rather expensive toy. Hope you'll get soon the real feel of it. Best regards from Yoshiyuki Tanaka

  • WOOOW Suresh !! This is really a FANTASTIC place where it will be a dream have a hike! I don't know if I'm more amazed for the incredible vegetation that cover every angle of this country, for your knowledge of latin names or for the quality of your macros!! Anyway I can say that my favorite shots are 1, 5, 13, 25, 26, 27, 30, 33 and that them are really a BEAUTY! THANKS for this trip in your green world (and also for your kind words about my family :-) ) Have a NICE day! Ruggero

  • Thank you, Suresh, for all your messages. You have said all so well: The Alps are breathtaking; having Ruggero as a guide is fantastic; Ruggero's family is very charming (both from the inside and outside). I had a great time and it's a true pleasure sharing these pictures. Best wishes! Orly

  • Dear Suresh, Well you have certainly made me "smell the roses"!!! What a delightful album, abloom with colour, beauty, tranquility, gentleness and serenity... Again you not only capture art with photographic ingenuity, but you take the viewer to a part of the world with awe and adventure. A stroll through the hills made me alive with a yearning to stop and smell the roses, appreciate the beauty of nature,to get back to basics and appreciate what God has created! Thank you Suresh!

  • Hello Dear Suresh, Your flowers are truly lovely! I think your cover photo is perfect, very eye catching. I also love that single dahlia, that peachy pink is beautiful also a gorgeous shot of it and the sunrise rose is very beautiful. Thank you for this invitation and also for visiting our feature album, it was so nice to hear from you, again. Warmest Wishes, Candy

  • Dear Suresh, I was finally able to come back and thoroughly enjoy this beautiful album. The colors, the textures, and the sharpness of the macros all combine to make this a true delight. The terraced village is also a great shot. Thank you so much for your very generous comments in my England feature album. I appreciate them very much, along with your continued support. Warmest greetings from California, Beth

    said  of bvillanyi bvillanyi 2005.09.30 at 11:50:42 PDT

  • Hi Suresh! How are you? This alubm, like your previous floral album, is a feast for the eye. Your macros are great, the colors are so vivid and one feels like actually viewing these wonderful flowers. Some of my favorites are Erythrina indica (1), Streptosolen jamesonii (5), Wild lily (10), Dahlia (13), Strobilanthes kunthiana (19), Salvia splendens (33), Day lily (35), Euphorbia pulcherrima (40). I also enjoyed your lanscapes, and especially the picturesque view of the Poomparai village. Thank you for this delightful album. I think many of these flowers grow in places around the world but only in gardens, and now we can see where they come from. I have to tell you that I've been to Italy, where I had a most wonderful time travelling with our friend Ruggero. In a few days I hope to have new albums. Keep up the good work and best wishes, Orly

  • Hi Suresh! Very nice album. Thanks for inviting me to look at these photos. I like them a lot, especially landscapes. They look so different than all landscapes of India, which I've seen till this time. It's very interesting! Best wishes from Poland. Dorota.

  • I feel as if I walked with you. These are beautiful pictures and the area is beyond words. I've said it before, but I enjoy seeing the world through your eyes. I wish everyone did, perhaps they would respect this planet more! Your friend, Melody

    said  of yapsalot2 yapsalot2 2005.09.28 at 08:00:56 PDT

  • Dear Suresh, I hope this time that my message will stay in Your guest book; I wonder to know what happened with the Suzhou album; Otherwise, thank You for that invite, the walk in Palani hills has been a delight and their wild flowers are delicate gifts! I am amazed by Your great culture, I should be unable to put a scientific name to all these flowers! First congratulations for that! Second congratulations for the composition of many shots: I did select 1, 8, 12, 29, 33, ,37, 38, 39; I separate one picture from the entire album which is, on my taste, the magnificent 35 Justicia Aurea Busch, a real master piece for the photo quality, the perfect composition with different textures and the beauty of the subject that I immediately downloaded, with my best thoughts, Jacques

    said  of pfjc pfjc 2005.09.28 at 07:51:20 PDT

  • Thank you Sante for you kind comments. Yes, they grow in the wild except the last few ones which I have mentioned. It is possible the seeds might have escaped from the gardens. The higher altitude in the Palani hills is very conducive for many plants. Best wishes, Suresh

  • Hi Suresh, a nice album you have here, showing some quite colourful flowers. I'm not really a flower person, but I like most well taken photos, which you have a lot of here. All the best, George from the Scottish isle of Shetland.

    said  of gpleask gpleask 2005.09.28 at 07:27:58 PDT

  • Hi Suresh, nice album. But: are you really sure these plants grow in the wild? Most of them hail from Australia, North- and South America and from South Africa, but perhaps the climate in your region is so good that the plants got domesticated there. Still, your album is very well done and informative at that.
