Good Grief!! These are outstanding! I can almost smell the flowers like you wished, and they definitely brightened my day. My Dad has Alzheimer's, and things have been a bit tough lately. These pictures would brighten anyone's day though. Yes, it's Carole from Tennessee and thanks Sharon for the beauty you captured.

Hi Sharon & Bob, It has been a very long time since I last viewed this album. Now is a great time as I am so looking forward to spring getting here very soon. Your photos are a breath of spring for sure! I don't know which of the photos are the newest ones but as usual they are all so gorgeous! I do love bearded iris & wish I could grow them here in north Florida but it is not to be.:--((( I'll have to be stisfied with what I can grow. And I really am. Lots of hugs,Flo

said florock 2006.02.27 at 06:07:49 PST

Hi Sharon, They are so beautiful I could almost imagine that I could smell them. The gardens must have a wonderful fragrance with all those flowers growing together. Wonderful additions to your album. I appreciate your comments on my doggie album. Enjoy the photo you downloaded. I certainly don't mind sharing them with you. Spring will soon be in the air, hopefully! Take care and God bless you both, Ray

said rrayr55 2006.02.26 at 17:55:11 PST

Dearest Sharon. honestly I do not remember which are the former shots but I went on the slide show again as your photos are magnificent ( sounds familiar?) I agree with Al the gloxinias are gorgeous, but I also like your "Perfect moment" - I have it also in my garden, "Day break", Irises # 3, and so on and on. Beautiful and perfect.. And I also have to thank you and ask for forgivness for not thanking yet your kind comments on both of my featured albums. I could not respond individually given the 80 plus comments in each features with a difference of a day.****** First Paintwithlight(roses) and then katifelkai with the feathery friends..All happened in the midst of other events I had , therefore I humbly -on my knees- ask to be excused for this rude behaviour..I promise to get betterand i will try to make it up soon. Love and hugs/kathy

said katifelkai 2006.02.25 at 23:23:54 PST

Hi Sharon, I was so happy to see your comments in my guestbook. I was at MoBot on Wednesday the 22nd from about 11am to 3pm. Were you there that day? I chatted with several very nice people. We were laughing because we all had our noses stuck in the orchids at one point or another. Taking deep and lingering breaths of the wonderful fragrance. Did you, by chance, smell the yellow one that smelled like citrus? Now why didn't I think of photographing the name plates?? Duh!!! That's a marvelous idea. Here I thought that Bob was following you around writing them all down like a dutiful husband...lol. I can't even get my hubby to go to anything like that, but I went with my dearest and long-time friend, Paula, and we had a wonderful time. She's more fun anyway!....lol. By the way...this is a beautiful album too! Have a wonderful weekend! Lots of love and hugs. Donna

said deestea 2006.02.25 at 10:50:03 PST

Dear Sharon, I do not remember the last time I wrote you. It seems forever. I am having more brain seizures which thank our LORD are short ones. It is good I stopped driving when my Doc said to. The LORD has given me extra strengh to accomplish what I need to in between them. My regular Doc calls it a flareup so I just have to wait it out. Probably caused by the long hours I put in on the volunteer work at church. Well, I enjoyed the job which makes this worth it:) So if I am erratic at times please forgive me as I know you will. GOD BLESS YOU and BOB. Hope all is well. LOVE, Betty

Oh, Sharon: This album is great! I love flowers and have had roses as a favorite for a long time but have become very attached to orchids this last year. I garden in the summer and love growing all kinds of flowers. Guess I am going to have to get a good camera so I can take some great shots like these. You have put together a beautiful album. Kay

Hi Sharon & Bob! I don't know what's new! There's so many gorgeous photos here I just can't remember. I am shocked, however, that you would let something like an old snake scare you away from finding the name if a flower!!! LOL! We have Iris blooming right now and I've been missing them. There were no jet boats in the wee hours of the morning but I think Rod might have had more fun with one since the fish weren't biting. But the pictures wouldn't have turned out as clear! Thanks for looking! Hugs and love and how was the zoo grins, Jane

Hi Sharon, Botanic gardens offer such incredible opportunities to a photographer of your caliber and you take full advantage of what yours offers. In particular, you have done a delightful job with the roses. They are the envy of any photographer. I certainly envy you and them. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your kind words yesterday on my Las Vegas album.

Hi Sharon! Wow, one word comes to mind after viewing this album...flawless!!...it is truly a masterpiece, filled with such beautiful flowers and such vibrant colors. I had to look at the slideshow twice, because once just wasn't enough. You are a true artist with the camera. So hard to pick out a favorite, but for some reason "Southern Magnolia" just hit me..such a gorgeous shot! The tropical water lilies with the dragonfly are also sensational...you have done a perfect job!!

Your additions are a feast for the eyes. Thank you for your recent entry in my flower guest book.

Hi Sharon, Wonderful additions to your album. I love your macros. They are so sharp and clear, but I would love for you to step back so I could get a look at more of some of the trees and bushes you photograph. I would love to see a fuller pic of the Bottle Brush Tree and the Camellia Bushes. I don't think we see thess this far north. Maybe the Camellia though, I'm not sure. Anyway, all are beautiful photos. Hope you are enjoying your summer. The heat in St. Louis is probably as bad as ours though. Take care and Lord bless, Ray

Hi, Sharon - I must confess I spent most of my time viewing and also downloading from your albums in photoop 23, and seem to have neglected sharonmyphotos entirely! What a wonderful album - Kathy (katifelkai) sent me a WS card from this album and that's how I discovered what I have been missing! Tomorrow I will do some serious downloading (you don't mind, do you?) - for the moment I am just satisfied with my slide show of wonderful photos of beautiful flowers. Like I did with Santorini (thank you for your guest book entry) you just added some photos - but for me it is an entirely new album! With spring in the air, I hope you will soon be well enough to publish photos of your trip to Cypress Gardens and other places you may have visited in Florida.With my best wishes, bruno

said francismi 2005.04.23 at 21:03:40 PDT

Hi Sharon, the new photos are a wonderful addition to your floral album. I love the closeups so clear, crisp and colorful. I've been trying to do some closeups of wild flowers with my digital with mixed results. I've been having trouble controlling the focal points. It sure looks like you and Bob have mastered it. I hope your vacation went well. I pray the Lord continues to strengthen you even if you are not feeling well. Take care and Lord bless. Ray

I love your new additions, particulary the #3 with red strips in white, the white daffodils in 10, the wide open tulip in 9, and the dogwood blossoms (that we don't have here)! We have rain rain and rain, and the bottom is full of fallen tulip petals in our garden... But buds of other flowers will open soon! Warm wishes! Take care! Love, Heinz and Kaethi

said oertlif 2005.04.22 at 00:23:41 PDT

Hi Sharon, I love your new additions. I have been wanting to get up to the Botanical Gardens, but haven't been able to make it yet. After tonight's hail, rain and wind, it's probably going to tear up most of the spring flowers. I'm so glad you got to go and take such beautiful photos. You sure have that macro down pat. I'm just learning how to use the macro. Sometimes I get it right...lol. Thanks for sharing. I've added some new albums, so stop by to visit if you get time. Take care. Donna/Missouri

The fastest Lady on the Keyboard in the U.S.;))!It's too bad that you were sick in Florida but i'm glad you're feeling better now,i never get tired of your flowers album,they are so beautiful;up here unfotunately spring is our ugliest season and we can't wait till it's over which happens pretty fast we almost go from winter to summer in two,three weeks at the most,the reason why it's so ugly especially in the city is when all that snow is melting the whole city looks like a big garbage can and it takes a while to clean it up,and in the country it's really piles of muds everywhere let's just say our spring is really the last breath of our winter.But this year if the weather can be on my side,i'm gonna try to get pictures of the Canadian Geese arrival (200,000 of them)it should be quite a challenge to get good pictures of this event.Hey!What do you know,i think i'm writing a book too ;))!!Take care.Luc

said kligon 2005.03.30 at 17:09:47 PST

Beautiful as usual... You have a great talent for finding beautiful scenery to photograph...I haven't been able to start my walking yet. Tried, but had to turn around and come home. I don't use programs especially for certain things I just use my psp7 for everything mostly. Have a few plug-ins that I like to use. I am thinking aboutletting my webshot site go in June. I have about played out with the picture taking thing ! Got some baby bullies coming and a litter of chihuahuas so will be busy for ahile. Hope all goes well with them. C-sections and getting up evey 2 and 3 hours to tube or bottle feed pups is a tiring but rewarding job and I love watching the little sweet things grow. You take care my internet friend. Blessings to you and yours. Edna

My favorite photo is #28, did anyone give you a name for it? For sure it has to be an orchid, but what kind and name I wouldn't know. Very beautiful! segseven, OKLAHOMA

said segseven 2005.02.12 at 12:05:07 PST

WOW Stunning macros of such colourful blooms! The delicate detail of each petal is so beautifully captured here! The colours are electric and would dress up the desktop perfectly! I love the Black Eyed Susan macro best! Although the waterlily shot with the different colour petals is beautiful too! A real treasure to view, many thanks for sharing a worthy flower album!!!! All the best, amy :)

Hello Sharon and Bob! As we didn't hear from you for several days, we just came to have a look at your albums. We missed your new additions when we were then in Switzerland... You added such wonderful flowers: the marvellous poinsettias and so beautiful hibiscus! We love the pink and white poinsettia with your good wishes! Great variety of colors! Thanks! Warm wishes again! Hugs, Henri and Kaethi

said oertlif 2005.01.16 at 22:21:29 PST

HI Sharon...about this album. it's hard to find the proper words to describe it so I will do the best I can...magnificent, beautiful, wonderful photography of such beautiful color......I know the weather out there has been awful but just remember next spring the beauty will return....Tell Bob I may have captured one of his "Ole Fishing Holes" on the camera over the New Years weekend. We were in the Orlando/Titusville area for a quick visit and shot a few pictures. Titusville has changed so much since you and Bob lived there that it's hard to find the old landmarks anymore. If you would like take a look at my album"Central Florida In Winter".....Than ks for sharing the wonderful flowers in your album..............Gene

Bonjour Sharon and Bob,this album should have been feature too,it's so beautiful,the colors are just amazing!!I'm sorry to hear about your cancelled plans but on the oher hand this is gonna be such a romantic Christmas Eve,just the two of you.I am well aware of treacherous roads and dangerous winter driving conditions,your daugther took a wise decision.Up here the weather is so weird it's insane,in the last four days we went from -38 celsius,than an ice storm than 10 celsius with a rain and wind storm yesterday and this morning it's back to -23 with obviously no more snow on the ground.Hopefully i'm gonna have free time + good weather conditions to take some winter shots.Have a great Christmas day you two!!Luc

Hi Sharon and Bob! Those stunning Hippeastrums #1 really caught my eye, a truly awesome display! The Zinnias #18 have so much depth they virtually jump off the screen, love them! Hasn't anyone helped you with a name for #17? I would love to know what it is, perhaps a garden nursery could help. Thankyou for sharing this fantastic album, have a great day..

Hi Sharon, It was great viewing all these pictures once again. You do such a great job of closeups.

Hi Sharon, please accept my deep sympathy on your terrible lost and thank you for visiting "Shave head for Cure at TransCanada" photo album. We need to help cancer victims! Their life experiences are very moving and for us, personally, very touching moments. My friends who succumbed to cancer are very inspirational to many of us. Their courageous posture and willing to accept God's decision is a very powerful statement of their faith. It is very interesting to note, how we, as webshots friends, can develop and have wonderful friendships and at the same time share so many powerful ideas. Friendly greetings, Rafal
