Rare Treat
Dad’s patience paid off in a big way when he captured this image. Hummingbird moths are elusive so it was quite the rare find!

Rose in the Rain
Though Dad may have hated taking photos of flowers, he sure knew how to make them dazzle in their simplicity. You can almost reach out and feel the raindrops.
Summer Time
One of the thousands of flowers dad caught on camera – a stunning sunflower or “Little Becka” as this variety is named.
Pretty in Pink
Dad took this photo of a pretty pink peony in my front yard one summer. He and Mom would come over to watch their grandkids and Dad would spend the afternoon outside, photographing around my house.
Sitting Pretty
Dad took this photo of a buckeye butterfly on one of his day trips with the Mayslake Nature Study and Photography Club from Oak Brook, IL.
Backyard Beauty
Dad took this photo in the backyard of his good friend Larry Cole. His wife Lindalee raises gorgeous day lillies every summer.
Mop Tops
Western anemone is found in far northwestern North America, including Glacier National Park in Montana. Dad and Jen visited there in 2017. It was his favorite national park.
Orchid Original
Another stunner from the orchid show at the Chicago Botanic Garden – a tropical lady slipper.
Precious Pink
Dad was a regular visitor to the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glenview, IL. He especially liked their annual orchid show where he photographed this beauty.
