Matt,
your flowers are beautiful but I have to admit that the first place I visited on your site was the link page for your hummingbird photos. I enjoy all the birds and critters that visit us but hummingbirds are my passion ... correction, my obsession, so nearly everything i plant is primarily grown for them from native to tropical. I just received 2 Dwarf Red Buckeyes in the mail yesterday that I had ordered last week so I now have them potted up on my porch awaiting the early spring thaw so that they can be planted out. by mid summer I have 6 feeders out in additon to filling every pot and every garden spot with flowering plants, most of which I wintersow each year.

Greetings! Penny, I see you tipped some folks to my website regarding Hummingbird images...THANKS!! I love to get new visits, and since I'm not selling anything, I love to have my site mentioned!! I notice members on your Network 54 use a small thumbnail image when they post? If you want, I can make you one to use from my pics. Anna's? Ruby? You pick it and let me know, I'll send it your way...THANKS!!

Matt: Thank you for the photo tour. I really enjoyed seeing how your garden has progressed. You have so much space there- I am jealous!

I really loved your zinnia garden and would love to see a photo of the torch tithonia when it got 6 feet tall! I will be growing this from seed this year for my front bed and hope it'll be a show stopper.

Your veggies looked delicious, too.

Hi Matt,
I enjoyed looking at your flower photos and bird photos too!

Very nice!! I loved your zinnia bed also. And the pond at sunset looked so peaceful.

How did you get that aerial shot? Did you hire someone or know someone? It was a great perspective.

PS - Here's the link to his site

Greetings! Alas, I never got decent images of the Tithonia in bloom. However, I can send you a shot. It is from the other end of the garden, and has quite a different perspective... Just send me a private message.

We hired a helicopter for that shot. It is described under 2003. More shots are there too... THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Hi Matt,
Just wanted to let you know, I took your tour this morning, I almost lost track of time & almost lost an item I was watching on eBay, but I managed to do both:0) I was so happy to read you got some of the land you thought you may have lost:) I can relate, I have 10 behind me, that was for sale but now she wants to keep it, I don't care what it cost if it ever comes up for sale again it will be ours. Very nice home you have made.

Matt and Cynthia Thank you for sharing your site with us. I have spent the last 2 hrs going through it and as a fellow NY gardener and Bird lover you are my new Idol in the Garden and Bird world! I too am a big fan of photography ....mostly of flowers for the birds won't stay still for me to get a shot! I would like to purchase a good camera but I know it can get quite expensive. Well what I really wanna say is Great Job with everything you have Created and Captured you should be proud of yourselves!...Wayne

Great photos, I really enjoyed them!!
