    Oh, SANDRA!!!!! This is just gorgeous … what wonderful tones and light … there’s a mystery about this .. like a wonderful secret garden … I’m completely entranced by these colors!!!!

  • SandraRos replied

    Thank you sweet friend, that Butterfly garden was glorious!! I loved every moment that we spent in there and I could easily have stayed longer but my sister in law, that took me there is not a photographer, although she was very patient with me. I think at one stage she found me quite strange running around with me camera glued to my face LOL
