Album Description:
Although not a cactus lover, I enjoyed the powerful lines and angles. In Playa las Americanas there is a beautiful garden. It is in fact a minigolf in which Gaudian mosaics, fountains and priceless cacti are living apart together....

Hi Anna, Thank you for sharing these fabulous pictures of cacti and succulents. Unlike you, I am very fond of these little plants (at least while they remain small and can be kept in the house. The strange shapes they assume both amuse and fascinate me. I have made a number of prickly downloads this evening, as well as viewing the whole album on slideshow. The prickly pear on Page 4 of the album is my favourite, though choosing was not easy! Wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year, Kind regards, Kathryn

Hello Anna, What a delightful array of cactus. And of course expertly photographed, also tastefully displayed in this wonderful album. I have never seen an island of cacti in a fountain pond before and it is very beautiful! Years ago I once was very much into growing cacti and succulents. I have several old photos just stuck in a box in my photo chest. I should dig them out and see how they scan. Sometimes scans don't look so good as I'm sure you know. Maybe that will be my next album? Thank you for sending me your email address, but we in the USA have been warned not to give out our email addresses, or personal information easily on websites, chat, etc. We have so much problems here with ID theft,address book theft,and more. Please don't take this personally dear Anna, I do appreciate hearing from you through webshots so much. You are so popular and I know you must get an enormous amount of email. But still you take the time to visit my albums and I'm just a one year member. Thanks for the info. on the camera, my kind thoughtful friend. Please do continue to stay in touch. Laura

Anna---Well, I do love cactus (and have found that I have an unexplainable attraction for them) and you've once again taken awesome photos that have captured their unique beauty. What an interesting and somewhat different album and yet in it's own right equally as beautiful as your other albums. While I love tulips too...their beauty is somewhat more obvious to most so I HUGELY appreciate your ability to see and capture the beauty in less obvious places. Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement in my guestbooks. It is an honor to have your opinions and comments. Thanks too for going back and taking another look at my feature album after I finished it! That was an almost overwhelming day and the world became so much smaller. Thanks again for sharing it with me. -debbie (no1fan@sbcglobal.net) p.s. keep sharing your photos.

Hoi. Annatje, Hij is weer heel heel erg mooi1 Ik val op die detail-foto's, dat heb ik altijd al erg leuk gevonden. Wat een kleur zit er nog in die vetplanten! Ge heeft in Epe een leuk boek voor jou om eens in te kijken, gaat over mathematiek in de natuur. Geeft misschien ook weer wat inspiratie op dit terrein. Er zitten er nog een paar bij, die ik of anders uitgesneden zou hebben of die ik niet zo spannend vind. Als je behoefte hebt aan mijn visie...vraag maar! Wat heeft die camera van jou toch een prachtige kleuren en ze zijn ook zo prachtig scherp! Weet je zeker, dat ze niet op A4 of A3 afgedrukt kunnen? De groetjes van je leifhebbende en bewonderende zus Jet!

Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your show of concern in my guestbook. We are doing fine...the fires are out in our area. Our home was a mile or so away at the closest point, but it came within a block or so from my parent's home & we had to evacuate family from there during the middle of the night. It's been a very difficult couple of weeks, but my husband & I will be going to Maui next week for our 25th anniversary. I think the Lord knew that we'd need a break & allowed us to book this trip months ago! I look forward to sharing pictures of our trip...it's just the therapy that I need!!! God bless you, Lynn

hallo anna, wat heb je er weer een fantastisch album van gemaakt.mocht ik eigenlijk ook wel van jou verwachten, zeker in de aandacht voor de details. ik zou bijna zeggen iedere keer weer overtref je jezelf. ik kijk dan ook altijd met grote belangstelling uit naar de volgende serie, ongeacht waarvan. het zal altijd de moeite waard blijven zoals jij lijnen en kleuren weet te combineren.Gods zegen gewenst bij je verdere 'werk' geert

Wat kan ik nog zeggen wat nog niet is gezegd. Weinig denk ik... dus, om dan toch maar in herhaling te vallen...... Ik vind dit een prachtig album, waarbij ik de macro's duidelijk mooier (compositorisch beter) vind dan de overzichtsfoto's. Of misschien waardeer ik die meer omdat ik zelf ook graag macro's maak, dat kan ook zijn.. Een album van hoog niveau, dat in elk geval.

Great idea, Anna, and beautifully executed. The close-ups of the spines--6, 13, 21, 31, and 33--are the best! Thanks for the invite. Debra

Anna...This album is very very beautiful! I also like the lines and angles of the cactus, but it is your photography that has made it special. Every photo is beautiful and I especially like the close shots, but the others are beautiful too. Very nice album. hugs, Barbara

Hello Anna!We come back to your album: It's wonderful to see the cactis in close-ups: so many beautiful details that we wouln't see, just passing! We appreciate especially the 21; 1 and 7 ant with nice environment: 42 and 39!Answering your questions: we are back from Arizona about 10 days now, it was a wonderful 5 week vacation! It was the 14th time we went in this region because we are in love with the desert :-)! But it was the last time now, the journey get's too long for us, we don't get younger... :-( Thanks for inviting us to send you invitations for our new albums!We will try to not forget it! At present we have no new one planned, the five Arizona albums have been much work, so lots of things are waiting in house and garden! We look forward to albums from you!!! With a bonjour from France, Henri and Kaethi

Ze zijn weer beeldschoon, Anna. Je blijft jezelf gewoon overtreffen. Ik heb er ademloos naar gekeken. Je hebt de kunst van het weglaten heel goed in de vingers. Prachtige kleuren en lijnenspel. Groeten, Marjon

Anna, wat doe je me aan.? Moet ik allemaal dit moois bekijken en er een keus uit maken. Dat doe ik niet , want elke foto heeft iets van Anna in zich. details, lijnen , kleuren. Maar voooral oog voor details. Helaas ben ik wel goed in namen, maar niet van catussen. Toevalig is Gea met een collectie begonnen,bij ons in de serre. Groeten Teunis

Hallo Anna, Een prachtig album heb je weer gemaakt. Naast alle schitterende macro-opnamen van de cacteeën deed het ne genoegen ook wat van Gaudi te zien in jouw album. Het werk van Gaudi, in Barcelona vooral heeft me altijd al aangesproken. Daarom zijn de nrs. 15, 16 en 17 bij mij favoriet. Groeten, Tjebbe

Anna - what great photos of the cacti! I am almost afraid to touch the pictures they look so real! Wish I could help with their names. I only have one kind of cactus - the Christmas Cactus. - Miss Dee

Thank you for the invitation. To tell you the truth I have no liking for the plants themselves.BUT, I admired your creativity in the composition of the shots. The following seemed to me apart: Nos.4/8/14/18/27/32/35/41 . Any person looking at your albums gets the feeling that you ARE in love with photography! Greetings from Gabriela

Hallo Anna, Leuk album, en een gevarieerde collectie. Net als jij ben ik ook niet zo gek op cactussen, maar jij hebt hier op een bijzondere wijze de mooie vormen in beeld gebracht. Mijn voorkeur is denk ik net als de jouwe, foto nr.2, gewoon omdat ik het lijnenspel erg mooi vind! Ik kan je helaas niet helpen met de namen. Groetjes, Diana.
