    Thank you so much for a fine review and excellent rating. The property is named Mountain Pond by its original owner Mr. Henry B. Harris. As the name implies there is a beautiful large pond complete with a large flat rock outcropping which my companions and I soon discovered was quiet suitable for a picnic lunch. On the walk up to the pond we crossed an arched stone bridge constructed fully from local field stone. We didn't take any shots of the bridge we were in a hurry to get to the pond we all swore we'd stop on the way back. On the way back we're so tired lets just get to the car. ... Bob

A beautiful picture taken from a special angle and position as we can see the different flowers in different positions and even one which has not opened yet - a nice frame choice and great natural color combination making this picture attractive and beautiful as white is radiating purity and that is shining out
beautiful presentation with a nice initial impression

These are just lovely , there is something so special about the white petaled flowers and the combination of green and white together , the two blooms are well placed within the frame I like very much the buds at the top and the flower that is just starting to unfold, this allows us a look at the three different stages of the flowers life.
You have photographed these so very well with spot on focus, this image is crisp and clear, exposure is perfect,I see such well defined detail in each of the white petals and in that center too.
The flowers step forward from the soft green and black tones in background.
This is well composed and presented! It would make a wonderful addition to a calendar that featured flowers for each month.
This is worthy of a six, sadly I don't have one to award. It's beautiful work and a pleasure to view!

A beautiful capture of these pretty flowers! Your focus and depth show them off well, the textures are lovely to see. the softness of the background gives the main flower excellent highlight and the lighting is exquisite! The framing is well done making this a stand out presentation! Jodi ~ Way West

Beautiful photograph and such interesting story. Thank you for taking us on the history trip.

The photograph of the blooms with such precise and delicate petals with pure white colors are absolutely gorgeous. Nice placement within the frame and composition.

The leaves and darker background are complementing the flowers so nicely.

Bob, thank you for sharing both the photograph and the story.

What a beautiful, actually stunning flower in its delicate but healthy appearance. The other one is lovely too and that which looks like a roll. Nice leaves and background as well.
