Welcome

Grou.ps has joined the ranks of other internet pirates and will begin charging far too much money for this group beginning November 1, 2010. Storage space will be vastly reduced to 100MB. That will not even begin to hold our 7.3GB of images. We suggest that you go to Facebook and search for the Clark Gardens page or the new Clark Gardens group. See you there!

Clark Gardens Botanical Park welcomes visitors all year long. The breathtaking 35 acre oasis awakens the senses, stirs the spirit and relaxes the mind.

From the first spring blossoms to the colorful fall and into the stillness of winter there is a sense of magic. Wheelchair accessible pathways wind through lavish ribbons of color and fragrance. Waterfalls sparkle in the sunlight splashing down to ponds and lakes where black and white swans, along with other waterfowl, glide in the shimmering waters. You may see peacocks strutting, or get a glimpse of blue herons or great egrets swooping down, their huge wingspans casting shadows over the lakes.

Alan Flewitt As some of you know I am in the final stages of producing a promo video for Clark Gardens - do any photographers out there have 'good quality' pics of the festival hayrides and would be willing have it used in the video (due credit will be given!). Thanks, Alan Flewitt 214-729-4062 alan@usukassociates.com

Someone commented on a photo.
Paul Valentine Still Experimenting... I downsized these last 10 images that I uploaded here to a Web-Size of 801px on the long side by 534px on the short side. These range from 150KB to 350KB, and they don't load any faster than the full size image I uploaded yesterday (which was 4.7MB), or the images migrated from ning. I don't think anyone visiting here to view images of the Gardens will want to wait for the time it takes these images to load. I have little patience, and I would not wait. Hope I am Wrong!
