This Botanical Gardens looks like a beautiful place to celebrate autumn. Your photos of the statues and other beautiful spots are so good. I especially like some of your reflection shots with the fall colors. - DeeAnne

Sharon, thanks for your comments in my Grand Canyon Album G/B. Those comments led me to your albums and they are stunning. I especially like the Missouri Botanical Garden album, your compositions, colors, and so on - all first rate! I have an album of shots I recently took at the Japanese Garden section of the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. Stop by and visit that one when you get a chance. Thanks for sharing. Bill - Texas

Sharon, I am a creator of email stationery. I was viewing your artwork at and I am just in awe of your photography. Everything is so beautiful! In my work, I have only use my own images, graphics I have permission to use or those that I have purchased on a cd. As I respect artist rights, I would like to request permission to use your photography to create my email stationery. I do not now nor do I ever intend to sell my stationery that I use images other than my own. This is a hobby for me. I create using other people's artwork strictly for non-commercial use. I was just amazed and decided to be brave and ask. *smiles* Please note that the images on the stationery is watermarked with my name/logo and credit is given in the footer as well as a link. If use of your images is allowed for, I will link back to http://community.webshots.com/user/photoop23 or another loction you would prefer, on the stationary. I will also watermark any image that doesn't have a readable signature with your name. I want to thank you in advance for your consideration of my proposal and I anxiously await your response.

Hi Sharon. If you add still water and Autumn colours together, what do you get?. You get hard to beat photos. Another beautiful album and well done yet again. Thanks for sharing. Al in Australia.

Hi Sharon and Bob!!! This album is ummmm, ummmmm good!!!! Love the spider on the rose and the quail and EVERYTHING!!!! I'm so glad you live close and get to take so many photos of MBG because the rest of us aren't as spoiled as you are and don't get to see such magnificent gardens as these.:-))))) THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! You're wonderful photographers!!! Lots of hugs! Jane

I haven't been to the Garden in years.. Now I'll make trip since viewing your gorgoeus shots.. Thank you .. are you from St louis?

said nerina117 2003.10.10 at 22:10:36 PDT

Hi Sharon! I sure hope jury duty doesn't interfere with more autumn trips to MBG!!! That hawk pic is wonderful! But then, they all are!!! Hope you're feeling better tonight after your flamingo fest!!! Giant pink flamigo hugs! Jane

said peonierose 2003.09.28 at 18:05:04 PDT

Hi Sharon, I love this album, but then I love all your albums!!! Thanks for answering my question about your camera, I guess I just need several more, ha! I do wish I had one with more zoom but I found it interesting that your simpler camera is the one you like the color better with. I knew you were in Yellowstone, I read it in someone else's guestbook and I have been very eager to see your photos from there, that will be a REAL treat! Rest up and I will be checking often to see your newest photos.Candy

What a fantastic album...a refreshing show in the middle of a brown, dull spring. Your scenes are extremely well-chosen; I especially like the statuary.

said miist 2003.03.29 at 10:57:33 PST

Your photos of the Botanical Gardens in Missouri are superb! I'll be in Missouri in February and after seeing your photos I know I'll be spending lots of time there. You have some great shots and you have a very good eye for composition. I can't decide which I like the best!

said sarbi 2003.01.09 at 11:46:00 PST

Sharon, This album is sooooo lovely. You did a great job of choosing shots. The colors are vibrant and the shots are very clear. You really know how to get the best out of your camera! Thanks for the wonderful stingray story! It really does look just like it was posing for you! I love that you talk to the animals 'cause I do to! I've seen that other photographers here at Webshots do also. I'm so glad I'm not alone!!! They can lock us all up together! My husband and I drove out into the mountains today because it was our first really sunny day in a long time. It was an absolutly gorgeous spot with a breath-taking view of Mt. McLoughlin. I took a bunch of pics but none turned out so now I have to try and figure out what I did wrong. Pooh! Just reminds me I still have a lot to learn! Keep shootin' and thanks for visiting and encouraging! It means a lot! Take care! Jane

said peonierose 2003.01.05 at 20:42:13 PST

Hi Sharon, Thelma sent me your name and said to check out your photos but I had you on my favorite list already - actually from way back. Small world, huh? Better yet, just great pictures. LOL Thank you for your kind comments on my albums. I love your albums and always enjoy going through them. Regards, Mary/Upriver7

said upriver7 2002.11.26 at 18:41:47 PST

HI Sharon, I love this album and enjoyed it so much. You have added great photos. I am not sure what you changed from last spring when I viewed it, but it is so beautiful. You are very good at photography. I appreciate your comments in my Oregon album. I had my computer set to dark and I saw my photos much darker than you all did. I am going in and redoing all of my photos almost. I am better at it now and am making a lot of changes in some of them. Great job Sharon. I still am going to make it to this garden someday. It is at the top of my list. God Bless, Jane

said janeloughney 2002.11.12 at 09:21:07 PST

This album did it for me. I am hooked on looking at your albums for sure. The whole album is vibrant, peaceful, lovely and breathtaking to me. Your photos are beautiful...crisp, clear and good shots. I think I would love to see this place in person. If I can't, then I have seen it through your lens. Thank you. It is such a wonderful album, no favourites here, they are all great!, regards, Barbara http://community.webshots.com/user/midnight_lace

said yuome2 2002.11.03 at 09:40:18 PST

Sharon this album of yours is just magical, Burning bushes at the Japanese Gardens is still my very favourite pic it really does contain everything for me. A very beautiful album full of the most gorgeous pics. Thanks for your comments on my new album so pleased you liked it as I enjoy sharing my pics of "York City" with you. Sharon just a word on talking to the animals as I mentioned before I do it regularily, I think the best pics come from talking to them and they always seem to respond in a happy and friendly manner, they do enjoy the company. My Kindest Regards./Elaine.

Hi Sharon, So pleased to get your message on my return from vacation. We had a great time and decided to stay a further week arriving home yesterday evening. No prizes for guessing but I did go back again to Arran the weather was fabulous throughout the whole three weeks. I have taken a few pics which I will sort out over the next few days. I haven't had much time today as the family has been over. So nice of you and Julie to ask about me I have also missed our correspondence and friendship which I look forward to and enjoy. I have just been through your beautiful Autumn album of the Botanical Gardens and I still am in awe of your excellent pics Thanks for great albums Sharon. My Kindest Regards/ Elaine.
