I am a garden lover and only dread that my life has been so busy I haven&#39;t nourish that passion for a while. I will soon return to my garden and be able to tend to it. Lovely post!<br /><br />TrinidadAtelier de Campagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520386539332176054[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-36501318945580888142011-02-09T16:10:47.671-08:002011-02-09T16:10:47.671-08:00Love your blog, love your books (especially Santa Barbara - my home town). Sent your blog on new Taj Hotel in Hyderabad to Princess Esra Jah who is at her ranch here for annual visit and she enjoyed seeing. Great photos and I loved seeing as I haven&#39;t been there yet. One thing about the Rambaugh Palace blog, delightful as it is. You speak of the Maharani several times and I know you mean my late friend Ayesha,the Maharani who sadly passed away last year, but I think most of your readers will think you are speaking of the present Maharaja &quot;Bubbles&quot; wife Padmini who is the current Maharani of Jaipur -- who incidentally was in Santa Barbara briefly during high goal polo last summer. <br /><br />Sincerely<br />Beverley Jackson<br />[email protected]Beverley Jacksonhttp://www.silcom.com/~bevjack[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-56727205862785927062011-02-08T22:10:42.378-08:002011-02-08T22:10:42.378-08:00splendid location and excellent photography. thanks for sharing.clippingimageshttp://www.clippingimages.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-69939939636902714022011-02-02T07:12:15.362-08:002011-02-02T07:12:15.362-08:00goodness this post has me in a swoon. the photos are masterful and the gardens are breathtaking! thank you oh so much for sharing!Teacup Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739225742462909569[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-38099032225191332692011-01-27T20:04:59.467-08:002011-01-27T20:04:59.467-08:00Perfection!

Every time I thought of clicking on the &quot;post a comment&quot; link, I found myself scrolling back to take one more look at those deliciously soulful photos.<br />Very inspiring... I garden too but nothing like this! I&#39;m running out to my garden now to take a closer look.

The images, scenes, and photo compositions are incredibly beautiful. It is posts like this that made me give up buying magazines like AD, HB, and Veranda. <br /><br />I particularly love the photo of the terrace with plants, furniture, containers and parasol in varying shades of green...I believe this will influence future choices on my own terrace.<br /><br />Whenever I see work I greatly admire, I immediately want to read or conduct an interview with the talented creator...and you&#39;ve done just that. What a pleasure to read and view.

There is another one close with enchanting bosquets from late 1600 at the chateua Ulriksdal.<br />They are both close to where I live and are great areas to spend time.....the Haga to will now probably be a little more limited to public. Sweden&#39;s crown princess, just married recently moved into the newly restored Haga Castle ( I got you the new book about it).<br />Talk to you later,<br />IngelaLove Your Homeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851498393111241566[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-70428835308407642562011-01-17T07:16:08.615-08:002011-01-17T07:16:08.615-08:00stunningly beautiful.

He understands light and composition--and he understands horticulture and light and seasons and time of day.<br />I am so happy to present his work exclusively on THE STYLE SALONISTE...and notice how he speaks of soul and anima and spirituality, regarding gardens.<br />cheers and thank you, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]
