Your dogs have such regal faces.<br />I also took a look at the Longwood series. What a garden. My favourite images have to be the those giant round water lilies and I love the picture of the lady handing the boy a lily flower.

A foxhound won and that dog was one of those dogs that is so special one doesn't have to be a dog expert to see how good she is. She has the magic.

I love the koi names and the pink petals trailing on the pond. I keep thinking I should plant that spirea and seeing it at this stage give me one more reason to do so.
