  1. I've seen this photo earlier,but i will still say, your photos are getting better and better. Also i would like to congratulate you for your regular articles in the daily newspaper, i've read some of them, and i envy you for writing such professional-looking articles. Who will say you are not a horticulturist? I am a horticulturist but i don't write that well. I salute you Autumn Belle!
