Hi Darlene, Im back to this album again. And your captures of the gardens are still just as beautiful as they were before. I really stopped by to thank you for your kind comments on my Delaware River in Winter album. Actually this year, when I finally had the camera to capture them, was a relatively poor year for bald eagles. Usually you can get some real close. Maybe next year. Thanks again. Mike

Hello Darlene, actually I was looking for a new album at your site, but it seems you are as busy as most of us at this time of the year. Thanks for your lovely greeting to my birthday! I am happy you liked the video. Yes my birthday was as phenomenal as the video of it. My children and friends made a some-weeks-long happening out of it. :-) It was like never ever! This album featured on the same day made it even more special! :-) Darlene, I hope you are fine?!? Hopefully you will publish soon a new album ? ? - Have a wonderful day! - Galit

Dear Darlene, Congratulations on being "featured"! Fatastic album! I especially liked the one of the fountain and the rainbow! The whole album captures the spirit and beauty of the Season. Where is this garden located? When I was in highschool our drum and bugle corps, The Waltrip Imperial Guard, went to Longwood plantation, but this does not look anything like the Longwood in my old school pictures. Hope your Christmas was nice and your New Year will be prosperous. Dr. Helen of EdandHelen.

I haven't had 5 minutes to go to Longwood yet this season, but my plan is to go next week and enjoy the sights and a Choral and Handbell concert performed by the students from the high school I graduated from. They are performing next weekend. One of the girls is the daughter of a friend of mine, and as it turns out, she was a part of the music program when we went there 100 years ago! It ashould be interesting! I hope my photos turn out as perfect as yours...as if! Talk to you soon!!
