A Garden Tour [for Yuki]
With Yuki's recent arrival, and the idea of doing a garden tour planted in my head, I decided to combine the two - with Yui giving Yuki the tour of her new surroundings!

So just outside we have the vegetable & fruits area, growing things from potatoes to apples, cherries to french beans.

Looking down the field, it's a much bigger area than she's used to!

Yuki's a bit unsure, choosing to watch from a distance.

Pssh, you're much more pretty Yuki!
Thanks for viewing, hope you liked the photos and the [somewhat XD] of a tour!
Oh, and I also just realised that Figure.fm imported the caption Metadata from all my photos, and put it as the description for each one. How awesome is that!
(I'd set all my captions up in Lightroom).
Awesome dude!
Yuki is really Pretty!
Hope to see her at the next BJD meet i attend. ;D
Cheers!
And indeed, she'll more than likely be making the trip ;) lol
Nice photo set of Yui and Yuki taking that garden tour! ^^
Some excellent shots in there of Yui and Yuki looking very cute. Nice work!
Thanks ^-^
I'm really pleased with how some shots came out too, especially ones that needed a bit of rescue work done in Lightroom ^^;
Lovely shot. Yuki looks so cute in it.
Adorable! Love the atmosphere and lighting.
Your camera/lens performs well in shaded areas when there's other areas with bright light.
^^ Thanks,
It does pretty well for a standard lens (I guess?) but there's always room for a little help from Lightroom lol
You might be quite shocked at some before and after comparisons XD
Ah ok. Besides auto-contrast in Photoshop for some shots I don't really do any post-processing.
Lovely garden! A great backdrop for lovely girls, naturally.
Thanks ^^
Seriously your garden is heaven to take pictures with your Daughters or figures. Need to get a garden like that when I looking for a house!
Haha, thanks ^^ My parents have always been keen gardeners (it runs in my mum's side of the family) which explains a lot lol.
Fantastic photos! I envy your garden ^^
Yui is such a gorgeous addition to your family!
Thanks! ^^;
She definitely is, so glad I managed to get her! :D
I'm glad you understood I meant Yuki and not Yui XD (I blame the keyboard, not my typing!)
Yui is gorgeous too of course ^^
wow, beautiful photos and such a wonderful garden!
:) seems like Yui likes her lot
Thankyou di-chan!
They seem to be best of friends already :)
My absolute favorite pic of the girls.
Haha, it's one of my favourites too!
Standing in the middle of a crop circle...
Awesome photos and awesome garden!
Thanks ^^
best Yuki picture around (･∀･) !
you should consider shooting a series like this more often のヮの
Hmm, I think I might have to! lol
Thanks :D
Gorgeous scene of a DD sized real garden, this must be paradise! :D
Haha, I never thought of it that way lol
I guess all the smaller vegetables are the right scale!
That's a nice outing :D
Thanks Wolf! ^----^
Yuki is gorgeous. Nice shots, Yuki is lucky to have such a nice owner. :)
^^; Thank you!
you have two delightful daughters there, and how nice that they get along so well.
Thanks :) And it's nice seeing them get along too, though I wasn't sure what Yuki would think of Yui 'borrowing' her other outfit XD
Very cute girls^^
Thanks ^^
Wow, your place is so amazing! I have serious Yuki envy :P
Haha, thanks ^^;
Very nice work!!! And I seriously envy your garden XD
Thanks! :) ^^;
Gorgeous garden - the good life!
Thanks Danny! ^^
