These are great, Adeleide!
especially the green tea plantation pix. I esp liked the 1st one at the Bharat plantation. It + a couple more, incl the white rose, have been copied to my screen saver folder ;o) I have been to the Cameron Highlands before. It's a wonderful "green" area. I might go back someday. Looking forward to meeting you soon. I arrive on the 8th ;o)
