Hi Gabriela and Yoshiyuki, Thank you for the invitation to see your Kairakuen albums. You were right! I was not disapointed! They were wonderful. I really enjoyed the misty quality of the pictures. Thanks so much for the tour through this lovely place. Cynthia/Oklahoma

Hi Yoshiyuki, thankyou for your kind words on my featured treescapes album. I feel very humble when I view these Japanese garden photos of yours. I have long had a facination with your gardens, read several books on the subject. Perhaps one day I may be able to make a "pilgrimage& quot; to see the real thing. best wishes Eric

Hello Gabriela and Yoshiyuki, this album is very beautiful! I don't know how I missed so many of your new albums, you have been so busy shooting pictures. My favorite shot is your cover photo, that is just so beautiful and looks misty and sublimely beautiful! I also like the photos of the bamboo, always such a treat to view. It is obvious that you enjoyed your visit to Kairakuen and through you, I have enjoyed it very much also! Hugs to you both, Candy

Hi Yoshiyuki and Gabriela, I've been secretly watching this second album as you worked on it, and I'm still enjoying the walk in the rain, this time with other people - less solitude in this album, the mystery of Part One, the spell is lifted! Still some fog, but more light in the garden. Picture #15 is fantastic - the pine with the soft curves and misty backgound. #21, 22, and 25 are gorgeous spring blossoms, 26 - the mossy tree looks like velvet; #33, 34 & 40 are an Impressionist's dream! And the tall bamboo and pine forests are awesome: #28 and 29. Finally #43 is very beautiful for the intense red of the gate. Hat off to you for such a splendid album! Love, Ina in Canada
