Montreal Botanical Garden featuring The Magic of Lanterns

WOW..unbelieveable..I'm the first to sign your guest book! This is a very beautiful album. The colors in the night and late afternoon shots are just gorgeous! You have a very good eye, the composition and clarity of these images are fantastic! It's very hard to chose a favorite but there were three that really caught my eye. 20, 26 and 30..just beautiful. Marianne

Your photos are exhilarating,breathtaking & VERY beautiful!! I Love All the work in here & I thought that Turtle was so sweet & artistic-the creativity of some people never ceases to amaze me...like you! I Loved the way you showed that parts of the sky was lit up also in dreamy amber-red. Amazing compositions & style...by the way, I was born & grew up in grand old Montreal. You certainly are one of the best as an artist. Greetings & God has already blessed you quite lavishly... your friend,Rita Timmins

Bonsoire Michele. Merci pour ta félicitation dans mon livre de visites. Quand la félicitation viendra d'une chère personne comme ton, il est double félicitation. Je suis accablé et dépassé par les commentaires de ce jour spécial en Webshots. De tous les albums qui ai publié, il y a un qui ne reprend pas de photos, seulement amitié. Celui-ci est mon meilleur album. Merci pour ton amitié. Avec affection. Jesus.
