Re: Eidelweiss

Very nice Edelweiss! This one is worth adding to the Botany Photo of the Day list. Location and altitude would be useful.

Agreed - with your permission, I'd happily use it on Photo of the Day.

Re: Eidelweiss

Hi Daniel & Michael,
I am happy to have a beautiful eidelweiss as a photo of the day.
The thing is, I have sooooo many photos to give you!
Is there a way to make a slide show of some of the flowers I meet on my alpine walks?

Re: Eidelweiss

HI Alan,

I am sorry that you are contacting me for a funeral, but how nice to remember someone through beautiful flowers.
Of course you can use it, as long as you say that the photo was taken by CherriesWalks.com.
I have many more photos i can send you through picasa if you would like.
Give me your email address and I will send them through ASAP.
All my best,
Cherries
