Indeed they are GW. Beautiful they are too, but so pricey ! Your pics will be delightful!

First time I've ever been up there and it's only 15 mins away. Will be interesting to see the seasonal changes in the gardens so I'll definitely go again.

;D

Come on then GW, pics of Edinburghs Botanics.... I am going there soon if the weather stays like this.

;D ;D ;D

that is on the agenda too but i can only spend short amounts of time away from the garden as i get itchy to get back "doing" rather than just "looking".

There's a few more pics up on the blog now GW.

;D

2005 was the last time i was at ebg & i was the only person that was taking pics that day
now you can't move for all the david baileys....

while i was trying to get a shot they're taking one over my shoulder

....young guys with cameras that pro~photographers dream about...compensating for something methinks ;) ;)

at least i have the decency to allow them to finish

next time i'll phone in advance just to let them know i'm coming so they can clear out the hoi polloi

What irritates me is when I'm taking pics, and someone comes up to me waving a camera, 'Is that a good photograph?' If they don't know, why would they want a shot of it?

GREENWIZARD · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2007, 19:05:52 »

they're just wanting an experts opinion rb ;) :)

Carol · « **Reply #16 on:** April 16, 2007, 20:10:45 »

Hey, that pic was just like me GW but who was that bloke!!!!

I shall have my brogues on with twin set an pearls to match the Hoi Poloi.

I couldnt get a pic taken when we were in the Chinese Gardens last time we were there (last year). I don't know, they should know when folk frae the Borrrddders are going.
