Your garden and your images of that are fantastic. I can see why it attracts so many visitors. It would be a real treat to see it in the spring or early summer. Wonderful images Patricia! VVVV

Guest		13-Jan-2010 01:08
Hello,Patricia: Thank you for your kind comments on some of my images. And, also thank you for giving a tour of your lovely garden and its inhabitants! I particularly liked the mammals, birds and insects too, with the snow. If I had a garden like this, I would spend much of my time there. But, it must have been very cold outside. Cheers! Jaris
