Sylvie,
I am Mary Ridgeway, director of Kalmia Gardens, and wanted to contact you about your recent visit to the Gardens. Someone sent me your site and it is beautiful. All of your pictures are wonderful everywhere you go, but the ones you did of Kalmia are fabulous! Could we use them? I wish I had known you were here because I would love to meet you.
Mary
Oh thank you so much for your comment. I love Kalmia!
I’d be honored if you would use my photos.
I am happy to send you full resolution photos if you intend to use them in print. Downloading from my blog may provide good enough resolution for screen displays but likely not print.
