A Quiet Walk

thanks so much … I’m so happy you enjoyed this one!!

Oh, Peter, i did have a wonderful time!!! I went three times!!! And the funny thing is, the camera settings were the same, but there is a distinct difference in the look of the shots … the difference being the all important light!!!!!

It truly is a wonderful place!! i can’t wait until next spring to do it all over again!!!

Oh, wouldn’t it be fun if you and I could go here together????

thanks so much … I was lucky to have been able to go there during the middle of the week … it’s quite busy and NOT so quiet on weekends!!!

Thanks, Tony!! It was even prettier in real life!!!

Thanks Blair!! It was a magical day and I was just lucky to be there!!!!!

Jayne … thanks so much for your note … this is a magical place in the spring!!

Hi Suzan!! Thanks for your note … this is about an hour’s drive north of Washington DC … yes, your azaleas are magnificent in NC!! So glad you like this one … I have zillions of shots of these gardens and will be sneaking a few in here and there so as not to overwhelm poor RB!!! Thanks so much for your visit and your note!!!

Andy thanks so much for your lovely note!! It’s really a gorgeous place … I’m glad you enjoyed my attempt at capturing some of its beauty!!!

I’m so glad you liked this one … it is a magical place … only open during the azalea season!!! we live nearby, so I was able to be there during the week several different days

thank you so much for your kind note!!!

Well, dear, we’ll have to slip in under the barbed wire fences so don’t wear that frilly chiffon dress you like so much. And the azaleas will be gone. But … come on, then. Let’s go.

Nick, thanks so much!! I was just lucky to be there at the right time!!!

Thank you sweetie!!! Believe it or not, we had many, MANY azalea bushes in our front yard when we first landscaped. We’ve got about two left which we fondly refer to as our Bonsai Azalea!! The deer LOVE them!!!!! So when I want azaleas, I drive down the road and visit them here!!!
