Melissa- Its like a beautiful painting. I have seen pictures with the topaz and know its a must have for my works. I just love the look you get with it. This picture is a winner to me and a spot in my favorites is set aside for it. I love the colors and the way each one compliments the other. Excellent pov on these vases and the reflection is so sweet. The white wall is a perfect background with perfect form. This looks like one wonderful place to spend some time. Gorgeous work my dear girl. Have a wonderful day, you take care.

So glad this made Finalist! I have a hard time photographing this when I go to the Gardens, but I keep trying. I was mesmerized on Mother's Day when we went for Sunday Brunch - which was lovely, BTW - and tried, in vain, to catch the water drops coming up from the fountains. I'm sure the people walking by thought I was certifiable. I really needed a tripod. Didn't get one good shot.

Yes Songbird it is a touch of Topaz, sorry for my late reply. Thanks Debbie...I have yet to make it there this year.
