Last week I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Texas photographing wildflowers. A friend invited me to a wonderful 600 area near Gainesville, Texas set aside for the preservation of wildflowers. I had a wonderful time discovering wildflowers that were new to me – and some that I’m familiar with from other places I’ve photographed.
These are some quick edits of some of my photos. I’ll be editing more photos and posting more information about the flowers – but I thought you might like to see what I”ve been photographing recently.
Texas Paintbrush – castilleja indivisa – related to the Orange Paintbrush I photographed last year in Colorado
