Oh, thanks for posting those. We stayed at the Sofitel at the edge of the park when we were there in January, so we cut across the park to the station. I kept seeing the signs for the peony garden and wishing it wasn't, you know, JANUARY, because I love peonies.

Beautiful..

Makes here look like kickin dust, as usual.

I have a question! Whho is your photo space provider? i mean, who do you pay to store all of these photo's on? How many gigs did you get?

But you always were lucky as the Spring Peony (Haru Botan) display closes on the 6th of May. However there is a Winter Peony (Fuyu Botan) and the gardens are open from Jan 1 to Feb 28 for these.

claris, happy to be of assistance!

regan, i use a great company in new zealand called earth first. i get 125 mg. the gallery program is very useful because, in conjunction with perl or apache (i forget which one now) it resizes all your photos for you - i have set a data limit on each individual photo so it keeps the space chewed up to a minimum. very cool.

don, thanks for posting all this info, you're full of little bits and pieces! don't stop.
