What’s better than a crested dwarf iris? A whole party of crested dwarf iris!! I think it looks like they are waiving their arms in the air like they just don’t care!

We've moved on from flower country to bourbon country, but I still have many flowers to share!! Here is the beautiful Columbine. Unlike the one's I'm used to in Colorado, this one is a brilliant red and grows on a bush!

After 8 workshops in the Smoky Mountains, I finally got my first yellow lady slipper!! I photographed this yesterday, on my mom's birthday, so here's a flower as unique as you are Pam Davis! Love you!! 💛

A great way to exercise your eye is to challenge yourself to photograph the same subject multiple times while never repeating the same composition. This is one of my favorite cascades in the park. Each year I photograph it a bit differently, and this year I let it take a backseat to a lovely white trillium!

I don't think I could ever tire of the cascades in the Smokies. If only I could have sat here all day!

Did you know the Great Smoky Mountains NP has almo

Did you know the Great Smoky Mountains NP has almost 1600 different species of wildflowers!? Let me introduce you to Catesby's Trillium!! The trillium (a 3-petaled beauty) is one of the most abundant wildflowers in the park, but while most species of trillium sit atop their leaves and face upwards, the Catesby's Trillium is unique by hanging down below the leaves on a tall stem. The leaves remind me of the wings of a bird in flight! We saw just a few pristine blossoms on our hike tonight.

Woot! Found enough service to upload a video! Wake up at 3:30am, shoot the stars, sunrise, and then take a drive through Big Bend with us!! Video link in bio!

Although we have moved on from Big Bend, the magic

Although we have moved on from Big Bend, the magic is lingering in my mind! From spring blossoms in the desert to spring blooms in the Smokies. Tomorrow I will post a "Day in the Life" video of photographing this beautiful sunrise. Happy Spring!

We just finished up a great workshop in Fredericks

We just finished up a great workshop in Fredericksburg, TX. The area is known for their wildflowers and wine, but since Texas has been crazy this year the snowpocolypse scared away the bluebonnets. I did manage to find this one pristine poppy though (and plenty of wine). Camping with everyone was so fun that it's hard to ruin a good time! 🔥⛺️

This was shot on my @nikonusa D850 and Nikon 105 macro lens. It was an overcast day which gave the inside of the flower nice, soft lighting. I then held my Phottix M180 LED light underneath the flower pointed up to give it interesting backlighting.
