Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

Jerusalem Artichoke is Blooming in Walker County – #Nativeplants
Posted on October 4th, 2012 No commentsWe’ve been driving past some nice stands of Jerusalem Artichoke – Helianthus tuberosus – in various places in Walker county over the past week or so. This morning was a nice foggy morning, so I took advantage of the soft light so, hoping to get some added interest from the dew, and headed out to a nearby patch with my camera.

A Foggy Saturday Morning
Posted on October 24th, 2010 4 commentsAs I drive into work in the morning, I pass a field which frequently has a mist hovering over it. This fall the field has been filled with Goldenrod. Every foggy morning I’d wish that I could be headed into that field instead of headed into the office. A couple of Saturdays ago there was a bit of fog in the morning air and I had no other commitments, so I headed for that field before sunrise. Here are 8 of my favorite photos from that Foggy Saturday Morning. (Click on photos for larger version.)
