Lovely. And thanks for the Moxie Falls shot, too. That's such a lovely spot--I always like to take visitors there when we visit The Forks. My husband and his friends are whitewater paddlers, and they swear there must be a way to run that waterfall. I'd rather they forget about trying altogether!
Looks beautiful really.. I have a question by the way: how do you manage to achieve such almost solid-colored background while capturing flowers? I mean, do use some special technique while making a shot, or somehow alter photos in the editor?

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

You're doing a fantastic job with these Wildflower shots, John. Your pictures put most what I see in Fieldguides to shame.
Cheers, Klaus
So THAT'S what that is! Thanks John..beautiful. I have a pond plant on mine this morning...do you know them??
Good morning, John,
That's so delicate and beautiful!
Have a great day!
Very uncommon looking! That is such a detailed photo that the petals look like a circle of butterfly wings! Look at their shape and the dots! Lovely!
