This is a photo I posted long ago, but took it out of my files and wanted to bring it back, I've always loved this on. It was a rainy day at the beach, and these stairs just looked inviting and quaint. I can still feel that day. This was in Manzanita, my fav beach town.

Wet, green, and beautiful? must be the Oregon coast! I agree This is a beautiful shot! I think bringing it back was a good idea.

Moody shot, nice colors and a very inviting composition to see what's up at the end of the stairway :o)

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

A very calming place to take a stroll up the stairs. Really like the different textures and the vibrant plants. Great job.

I really like this a lot, Verena. That must be one fancy garden there. I'm glad you decided to bring this back.

This is a great shot Lady V. A very pretty entrance or even a part of a garden area. The rain soaking really enhances the beauty.

Love the colours in this picture Verena. The garden looks lovely and reminds me of our garden when I was growing up. our house was built on quite a steep hill and my mother had "green fingers" and kept a wonderful garden.

I thought this looked familiar! I had it once, and then my computer crashed and I lost it. I'm glad you posted it again!

Verena - An absolutely beautiful photo. The colors of the varied flowers surrounding the rain-wet steps. Partway up the steps on the left is a guard animal - a hippo perhaps? Thad

I'll welcome this one back! Wonderful colourful shot. Sometimes rainy days are the best time to make perfect shots, with the right person behind the lens of course.
