Wonderful Wildflowers : I find wildflowers to be challenging to photograph and identify. There are literally thousands of species. I know little about them but have recently started to learn.  Occasionally I will stumble on ones that I find interesting and have been able to identify. In Ontario, there are many different type of wildflowers, some of which have medicinal benefits. Others are invasive and have spread like "weeds", seriously altering existing habitats. Dog Strangling Vine has taken over many parks and green areas in urban cities. Nevertheless, wildflowers can be beautiful subjects to capture and appreciate. I aim to learn more about these wonderful gems of nature.

The trees in my yard : Taking photos in my yard helps me work in my least hurried and distracted fashion, and to concentrate fully on light, form, and technique.  Furthermore, it reduces my carbon footprint by alleviating the urge to drive or fly to exotic locations. Here's what I've come up with in my own yard.  All images copyright of J.H. Marden.

Wildflower Workshop April 2011 : I decided to take a Wildflower photography course from the Houston Center for Photography in April 2011. The course is offered once a year during Texas wildflower season (mid March to mid April). Part of the course is a field trip to Washington On The Brazos state park, which is well known to have many wildflowers on its walking trails.  2011 decided to be a very bad year for wildflowers as most of the state was in drought during that time.  The class made the best of it, and I still learned a few things and walked away with some keepers.
