I truly admire your eye for beauty, as well as your knack to write captivating captions. Wonderful shots of wildlife of all sorts. I thought my own flower pictures are rather nice; seeing yours shows me how much I have yet to improve. Thanks for sharing. Joachim, Minnesota, USA

Hello, I have really enjoyed visiting your garden in Australia! The variety of your plants as well as the beautiful birds are a pleasure to see. I love gardening as well, however, our plants are quite different and not as exotic as yours. Please come and visit my garden if you have a minute. Best wishes, Brigitte, Ontario, Canada

Hi Lorraine, I guess it's about time I Catch up on all of my visits. I enjoyed your beautiful fall album. Amazing tropical colors and the varieties of birds are beautiful. The air looks so clear and bright (no haze) it sure makes for wonderful photographs. Or is that trick photography lol. It looks like you have a wanderers paradise in your own home town. I'd love to be that wanderer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. Thank you also for your nice comments in my guestbooks and visits to my albums. best wishes, Ray

Hey Lorraine, thank you so much for visiting my Arrowtown album and leaving all those wonderful messages last week. Was it last week or the week before??? Apologies for taking so long in getting to this message, but I've been crazy busy the last 2 weeks! Routine of checking daily features has also been totally thrown out of whack! Anyway ... enough of me! Arrowtown is pretty awesome, isn't it?! Around NY when all the lupins are in full bloom, the riverbed in Arrowtown is covered in them - very stunning sight to see! Such a pretty area! Glad you enjoyed my album. Cheers, Sharon

Hello Lorraine, You have a wonderful and very beautiful garden. You must be very proud, and if it keeps you happy, what more can I say. I use to love gardening. It is a very relaxing thing to do, and see the results afterwards. Thankyou for your G/B entry in Jersey War Tunnals. Love and Best Wishes. Ray and Eileen. (UK)

said viking15410 2006.05.27 at 01:46:07 PDT

Hi Lorraine, This album is a delight to see! I love the title, and seeing all the flowers, plants and wildlife you have in your garden. So many are very different to England yet I saw a couple of plants that I recognise. The dandelion seems to be a worldwide weed! I was out taking photos of them yesterday, and yes.. I do still tell the time with them occasionally! ;O) Thanks for your comments in my albums! Debbie

said zebbiezebra 2006.05.24 at 00:39:44 PDT

Hi Lorraine! Wow, what a beautiful album! So many beautiful shots it's impossible to pick out a favorite! Good thing I talk to Al and Chris, I am becoming quite fluent in Aussie terms...lol...so no need to ask what a gadabout is..!!! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful aussie garden with us all..take care..hugs..Darlene

Lorraine thankyou for your comments in my GB. I have just spent quite a while looking through all of your albums and have really enjoyed them. So many familiar places here for me. Living in Adelaide myself I was suprised to see an Adelaide Rosella in your album and do you know I have never seen one! I am in the Adelaide plains so maybe they do not favour this side of town regards poppy.

said poppy1812 2006.05.23 at 06:03:32 PDT

Well Lorraine, after I once again recovered laughing from your GB entries in my Ranch albums, I thought I'd check & see what you've been up to (photograpically speaking). I am gonna get really deep now - I assume a gadabout is a walkabout in the garden? (talking aussie speak lessons from Peter...)? My next question: didn't know Gypsies have gardens, since they usually don't have a permanent homestead? Yeah, what the heck am I talking about - who cares?!?! - gobsmaker, ripper album! Absolutely stunning macros, and the captions make it cream of the crop (the frosting on the cake). Don't be a stranger! You're quite a find! Viele liebe Gruesse und Kuesse, Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.05.22 at 20:45:35 PDT

Thank you for your kind words. I will continue to view your photos. Unfortunately I will not be posting any new shots due to the fact that a burglar took my cameras. All I have left is a tripod and I can't even use that as a seat. Ouch!! John

Good Morning Lorraine. What a wonderful album. I enjoyed the visit very much. Thank you for sharing and have a great week. Best wishes from Oregon, Lynn

Hi Lorraine, you have great shots in this album, thanks for sharing them. As for the swan - when he drifted over and said 'G'day, mate... d'ya know the way to Seedney?' it was a dead giveaway! Have a great week and take care, Mandy (UK)

G'day Mate! I haven't looked at this album yet but I'm working my way up the friends list and am still to reach it. I just called in to say thanks for looking at and commenting on my ;Here We Go Again" album. Your comments put a smile on my face. You have that Aussie sense of humour, which is pretty good for an Aussie. LOL. Catch you later, when you get back from my place. LOL. Hugs Mate! Al

Hi Lorraine! You have a wonderful garden and it provides you with great photo opportunities too. Enjoyed your lovely shots of all the interesting things you grow as well as the lovely Rosellas and other visiting birds. By the way, #14 is a Gaura commonly known as Butterfly Bush and also comes in shades of Pink, see: http://www.oasisaustralia.com/catalog/prodlabelc_2580.html I have both Pink and White. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful garden and its treasures.. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.
