Looks lovely, Joe! Thanks for showing us

[MisterCat]

You are entirely welcome, princess! If ever you visit this city, we'll go check it out.

[Old Dragon]

Wow! If we ever get six numbers on the lottery we'll have a garden just like that.

[MisterCat]

I'm glad you enjoyed perusing the photographs, Ms Dragon! I was going to post this at your Web site's message board; in fact that's the first place I went. But I couldn't find an appropriate forum - one having to do with the garden-pond relationship.



=^..^=

[Old Dragon]

I think the Gardens To Visit section would fit the subject perfectly Mr C.

[MisterCat]

Indeed it would, Ms Dragon! See, that's the forum I thought I remembered; but for some reason I couldn't find it. My mind is going....



=^..^=

[Old Dragon]

I don't think it's your mind that's going Mr C. I moved the forum and made it a sub forum because the index page was starting to get stupidly long. Thanks for posting all your lovely photos.

Princess! could we have a hug smiley please.

[MisterCat]

You are entirely welcome, Ms Dragon! It's also a great relief to learn my mind isn't going - yet. I think it's packing, though....

Let me know if it finds mine somewhere on it's travels.
