Does anyone have some favorite garden areas around the country to
visit? Doris, maybe you know of some serene places to visit.My family
and I recently spent a week at Pine Mountain, Georgia, at Callaway
Gardens. It was beautiful. We spent a lot of time in raingear and some
of our photos are truly awful. We are striving to push harder. My dream
is to one day have a photo that will somehow compare to you experts.
When does the new gallery go up?
Appreciatively,
