Wonderful shots - will have to try and visit here. Love the close-ups and the wave - would be interested in knowing what camera you were using. Laura.

Beautiful, the colours are so rich. By the way, I'm new to tabblo. How did you make such a wide canvas for large size photos?
Lifequest22 said at 10:48 a.m. on Sep 4, 2009:
Noreen. Excellent set. Some of the images have a mystical quality and the colors and textures you brought out are superb. Congrats on TOD.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! Each shot is so delicate, yet strong. the format and way you layed it out is just perfect. I thought if this isn't a TOD then what is?? Noreen, i really like how you ordered this. starting and ending with the waves #2 and #4 and #10 are my faves. Gorgeous!

Oops! 'botanical'.
Hollyridger said at 2:05 p.m. on Sep 4, 2009:
Wow, wow and wow! I am overwhelmed by your wonderful comments, not to mention the TOD. It took me for ever to 'build' this tabblo. Perhaps there was a problem at Tabblo last evening or perhaps I am a bit rusty not having posted anything of any significance for a while. TOD and your comments just make it all worth while.

LAURA, RHONDA, MIKE, ERIC H, TEO, NEUSINHA, DOREEN, JESUS, GAYLET, COOEE, LINDA, PAM, ROBYA, RODNEY.... thank you all so very much for dropping by.

Hollyridger said at 11:00 p.m. on Sep 5, 2009:
BOB, I think the "poor bird" was just fine - he was concentrating 100% on his next meal which he caught within minutes of my taking this shot. Then he flew off to join his pals....

Hi Aunty Noreen. I think that your photographs are good and I paricularly like the first photograph. The ship is particularly impressive on the horizon. Is it a navy ship? Thank you for sending these photographs.

Fabio_DL said at 8:07 p.m. on Sep 9, 2009:
Canvas or tapestry made with the finest art! Noreen, it is very hard for me to choose the best photos of this set, but I will try: #3, #4, and #6. Congratulations on TOD, and thanks so much for sharing beautiful British Columbia with us!
Chilla said at 3:24 a.m. on Sep 13, 2009:
These are beautiful shots Noreen, Congratulations on TOD. It took me back to my childhood when we spent many a happy hour paddling through the rock pools around our coastline!
Hollyridger said at 11:35 a.m. on Sep 17, 2009:
SEAN, HEIDI, WILLIAM, LOES, NOE, MARK, GERARD, FABIO, and CELIA, belated thanks to all of you for your warm and generous comments on my Botanical Beach tabblo. The beach is more than two hours from where I live so by the time I had taken hundreds of photos, clambered all over the rocks and around the pools, dogs in tow, taken a break to eat, driven home via a new (to me) unknown route, a whole memorable day had passed. Your comments make it all the more special... thank you again.
Siagian said at 3:33 a.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
i really liked the macro (close-ups) here. VERY nice.
Hollyridger said at 4:49 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
Thank you, Woody. I had fun taking these shots...
YonderCreature said at 1:01 a.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
After all the comments listed above, I really can't add much except to gush in admiration! Certainly the BC Coast is beautiful, but your shots bring out the beauty in such a breathtaking way. The composition of each shot is superb, but I love the way you composed this Tabblo--your effort and careful thought into juxtapositioning each image here is evident. Wonderful work!
Hollyridger said at 2:43 a.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
YC, your comments are very generous and mean such a lot to me. My trip to Botanical Beach will forever be a beautiful experience to look back on - I will enjoy these photographs in the years to come when I am no longer able to clamber up and down to reach this wondrous beach. Thank you for visiting!
Sirnicolay said at 10:29 a.m. on Oct 24, 2009:
Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing and congrats on TOD! :)
Hollyridger said at 11:18 a.m. on Oct 24, 2009:
James, thank you so much. I do appreciate your comments. Isn't technology wonderful - I am viewing tabblo from Scotland (in the rain) right now!
HtD said at 11:50 a.m. on Nov 14, 2009:
thank you for this tabblo. Iám Dutch, but I visit Canada twice. Also Vancouver and off couse with the boot to Vancoucer Island in aug 1989. (Buchard Gardens on the island. )
Hollyridger said at 11:58 a.m. on Nov 14, 2009:
Henk, thank you so much for your comments. I hope you will visit Vancouver Island again some day in the future.
