Grounds and Structures

I have visited the Kew Gardens on two different occasions with the first visit being in 1995, and the second one in 2003.  The photos I took at the first visit were with a film camera, and thus I have had to scan them.  The first visit was in mid-summer, while the second one was in early May, a perfect season for azaleas and rhododendrons (shown on the next page).
