That is totally beautiful. I love the little one in the corner. I might have to ask your permission one day to use one of your pics for the subject of a painting.

That would be delightful. :-)

Natural light is fabulous.

*hugs*

It sure is. I was working on the edge of possibility today, with overcast skies, but it was also perfect for minimizing contrast in subjects like this.

mmmmmmm yes! Just love the lucious greeness of it. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the pics!

I'm in heaven. :-)

I love Jasmine! I love that smell! If I lived in the tropics I would be growing that stuff.

I did photograph some jasmine yesterday, but this is actually something else, a shrub rather than a vine. My plant instinct says, some kind of myrtle. I'm going to have to pay closer attention if I continue to take this kind of photo. :-)

Hm, maybe if I'm feeling better on the weekend, I should go to Kew. You're inspiring me.

That would be terrific. Speaking of inspiration, I bought a packet of Anagallis seeds at the Gardens yesterday. I plan to participate in a community garden this summer, and hope to grow some flowers and vegetables for the first time in more than a decade. You're one of the LJers who has kept the passion alive.
