You have an artist's eye and are able to capture the feeling of a place with your camera. Thank you for sharing your intimate view and emotions in this post.

Your photos are incredible, too, Tatyana. I can only imagine how you felt walking through this--it looks like Paradise! I like your "naive" approach to visiting a garden--I think your own first impressions are most important, not what someone else thinks you should see.

The photos had a great impact on my ambitions as a gardener. Your images are just as wonderful! I recently visited a fabulous garden, but the bright sun, and the fact that I was hurried by the tour guide, limited the quality of the photos. So your rain was a blessing in disguise.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-22953931694439102602016-05-18T11:49:23.975-07:002016-05-18T11:49:23.975-07:00Lucky in a way that it was raining, you had the pl...Lucky in a way that it was raining, you had the place to yourself.
