Dear Kyle

lining up the entire gardens & city roads...? but i did not see any or a CIDP of a huge sized_Why ?

Kris  

[kylecawazafla]

Thanks for the compliments. I am in the US now, and just had my first day of University today. I got back exactly a week ago.

Kris, I just posted some photos of CIDP's. To keep the posts shorter I'm thinking of breaking the pics into sections, and posting them one part at a time.

[metalfan]

Looks like you had a great time with Kiera. The gardens look lovely, you took great photos. Where is the photo of YOU, m'dear?

[Kim]

Nice photos, Kyle, good eye.  I like the Cham woodsonianas also, and the D. madagascariensis! Wow.  And the pic of your friend in the massive tree is spectacular.

Where are you enrolled?  Hope all goes well for you.

[kylecawazafla]

Thank you. I forgot the photo of the photographer. On the beach in Purto de la Cruz
