  I love this Donna. Just went there last week and have posted a few shots on my gallery. But what I love about this one especially is the composition with the diagonal and the curve of flowers at the top. I'm trying to picture in my mind where that was. Probably over by the flag.

  Thank you for all of your great comments. This was captured in the beginning of April. The flowers are no longer blooming on this side of the Flower Fields.

Take care,
