OK, that's the end of Round #1. More rounds to come later...

Thanks Mike.
They're all great. Keep 'em coming !

Wonderful!!

Ohhhhh my!!! Mike, what a treat it's been to view these. I know I'm going to have to go back through these photos and study them many times to even begin to appreciate all the details in them. It's like a fabulous coffee table book right here on my computer! I cannot imagine only spending two days taking in those gardens, though... I think I would need much more time than that. However did you manage to get those photos without any people in the way? It looks like you had all those lovely spots entirely to yourself.

I could definitely get lost in all that beauty.

I hope everyone who appreciates this thread will drop by Mike's Nature Photography cubit. I'm sure you can tell by now that he has a very talented eye and much to share with us all!

Thanks for posting the photos!

Hi Terri, and welcome! Where is "halway between Emory and Gol" - it sounds like the UK or Ireland.

I'm going to Chelsea this year armed with my camera of course. I hope I get just a few pictures that compare to those. You must have had very sore feet by the end!!

C'mon Mike...now would be the ideal time for you to post that photo of you with the Calibracoa (sp?) pot on your head !

I think I told you that my niece has that photo as her screen saver !!!
Your 15 minutes of fame lives on ! LOL

Oh, you mean my "Million Bells" portrait? Here it is -- taken right on my back deck (I'd never wear it at the Flower Show; it couldn't possibly compete with all the ladies' proper hats!)
