Foxglove Wildflower in Washington State Photo
This is a scenic close-up picture of a Washington State wildflower called the Foxglove. I took this photo in a field of wildflowers about a mile away from my house. Foxglove wildflowers can be many different colors such as pink, white, red, and yellow, but Washington State has an abundance of purple ones.
Foxglove flowers are a European invasive that has been rapidly spreading into the Washington backcountry. They are long tubelike flowers that grow in rows along the upper portion of the stalk. The name “foxglove” was derived from the shape of the flower.

I started out using 35mm point and shoot cameras, then upgraded to a 35mm DSL camera when I was in college. Finally, the world of digital DSL cameras was introduced. Gone are the days of having to wait for your film to be developed to see what you captured. From that point on, photography has been so much fun!
As a photographer, I draw inspiration from both the natural world and human experience. I strive to capture moments of raw beauty and to use photos as a testament to the power of storytelling through imagery. I am a firm believer that memories last a lifetime and are more precious than any physical thing you could own. Through my lens, I like to provoke connections between the viewer and any memories my photographs can bring back to life.
