Nature Gallery
I love shooting all kinds of nature photos, but have had my best success lately with flower photos, especially close-ups. Most of the images in this section were taken within a couple of hundred feet of my Willits, California apartment and all of them since 1998. They are all my favorite flower photos and were taken with either a digital or 35-mm camera.
