Oh my, back home now, with so many images in my mind, of people and gardens. Carol, what a pleasure meeting and talking with you, both at CoOR and then at Pamela's. I especially love that shot of Susan and Pamela, and of course the peonies. Michael AT - again - such a pleasure! It was such fun running around the garden with you and chatting with you as we ran, dashing in for a quick bite, a quick drink, then back out again. I loved it! And I am also so taken with the views you captured of all that loveliness. The gate, the glimpses, the foggy hills - what beautiful interpretations of what we were seeing. The rain drop closeups are also fascinating. It is especially intriguing how you were focusing on both the macroscopic and the micro, how you managed to create two such different sets of beautiful images. Luanne - your photos are absolutely wonderful - from the masks to the long views. I am still downloading these on my slow connection, which just gave up on me, so I am still savoring and simply happy there is more to savor. Susan EelRiver, I don't know if you are reading here, but running around the garden in the rain with you was such a highlight! The rain just disappeared amid the laughter. I could have continued on like that several hours more. It was delightful. And David and Charlie, again, I don't know if you read here, but I loved our talks, and Olaf simply adores you both, and your Sarah. The house and the garden are just wondrous. Thank you so much for everything. Pamela and Michael, there just are no words sufficient. What a wonderful party - I met so many interesting people and the setting -- well the setting has been described over and over, and the photos give a taste, but being there is like walking into wonderland. thank you, thank you, thank you Pamela and Michael, for this living, peopled art work which is Rosalia.
