Sunflowers 2014
One of the highlights of the summer for flower photographers in the Washington DC area is when the sunflowers bloom at McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville, Maryland. This year, we actually have two distinct bloom periods for sunflowers. The first...
Beautiful Asters: My New Video
There's something about Asters that always make me smile. Whether it's a bright yellow sunflower - or a simple daisy - members of the Aster family are some of my favorite flowers to photograph. So often they have petals of one color radiating out from a center of a...
Lily of the Valley – convallaria majalis
Lily of the Valley (convallaira majalis) is one of those delicate flowers that everyone seems to love. I get so many requests for photos of Lily of the Valley that I finally took some time to edit some photos that I've taken over the years. I don't think I have what...
Star Chickweed – Stellaria Pubera
In the spring the woods are full of so many wonderful wildflowers. One of the ones I love seeing is Star Chickweed (stellaria pubera) - a delicate white flower that blooms early in the spring. Like the Fire Pinks, Star Chickweed (stellaria pubera) is another...

A Few Milkweeds
I was looking through some of my wildflower photos and realized I've photographed several different types of milkweed - to say nothing of all the wonderful butterfly weeds I've found to photograph. Here are a few milkweeds that I've only found once - so don't have...
Shades of Orange Tulips
I've only editing a few of my tulip photos from this spring. I took so many tulip photos that it's going to take me a while to sort through them and decide which ones will be edited and shared. So rather than waiting until I've done all the sorting and editing - I...
Pink Lady’s Slippers – Cypripedium acaule
When I'm out photographing wildflowers in the spring and I run into other wildflower lovers - one of the most common questions is - have I seen any lady's slippers. I'm always torn about whether or not I should share information about when and where I've seen them. On...
Wonderful Hibiscuses
Every now and then, a girl just needs to post some photos of some amazing hibisucses. I don't know about you - but they are one of my favorite tropical flowers. Here are a few hibiscus photos I've taken in recent years that I haven't shared with you yet. Mandarin Wind...
