I am a retired, old amateur photographer hobbyist living in Austin, Texas. I created this site primarily for the staff and volunteers at the Wildflower Center but I left it "open" so from time to time other people stumble upon it. Every picture was taken at the Wildflower Center or (with permission) from a few samples collected there and taken to my "studio" at home, then returned. I stopped taking pictures at the Wildflower Center in June 2023.
