It really has been helpful to give myself a remedial lesson and see what the camera can do. Glad you like the pix of the RBG - it's one of my favourite spots.<br />Laura - I love it - and they do don't they.<br />Kim & Victoria - thanks. I suppose overtime they'll have to saw out a passthrough - but for now, it's fun stepping up and over the tree.<br />Gail - how ghastly - the horror stories I heard from people in Georgia were beyond my imagination. Hope your garden is ok!<br />Peggy - thank you. Aren't blogs the best. It really has helped me improve my garden photography.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-7701599179939085592009-09-26T19:35:32.001-04:002009-09-26T19:35:32.001-04:00Fabulous photos Barbara!I felt I was walking with ...Fabulous photos Barbara!I felt I was walking with you through the gardens.

Barbara, apparently we are in the middle zone of North America that is neither a warm grass or cool grass area! The eco lawns aren't happy here and we are too far north for Buffalo grass;) I grow clover and weeds instead. Thanks for the reminder~~I ordered the book. gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-31159153348669763872009-09-23T13:36:23.803-04:002009-09-23T13:36:23.803-04:00Great garden tour.

It seems like for me, everything is too bright and I need to lower the exposure. ... Hopefully this rain is just a brief washing and watering and the sun will be back quickly.

When I was up in Owen Sound on the weekend, the ground was cracking, it was so dry, (and yes, the leaves were turning, shhh!).<br />Thanks for the pics of RBG, it has been a long time since I visited. That water lily is so gorgeous, you almost don't even care if it flowered.Deborah at Kilbourne Grovehttp://kilbournegrove.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
