  19. The gardens are lovely and all your shots beautiful as usual but the trees like children's drawings have something even more special about them.

  23. I love the rose globes, Merisi ... especially the blue one! I wish I could find one like that here in Vicksburg.

    I also enjoyed your posts on buying roses, sunflowers, and Sunday lunch. It's always nice to start my day with your lovely pictures.
