My new books are due out together in April. This was a real neat job to do, especially the photography of the butterflies which I really enjoyed. I hope they have success out there in the wild world of publishing. 
My nursery manager thinks the yellow and white flowers are a type of coreopsis.
My book THE ART OF BUTTERFLY GARDENING will be out in the spring from Skyhorse Publishing. The second shot is more like an old-fashioned photo, a throwback to the old days of butterfly gardening in England. The third was just for fun. How do you make a self-portrait interesting?
David (signing the book) with his publisher Gordon Goff at a book party in Santa Monica last night. A few celebrities were there, but this was the main show.
And finally, one with Dave and me, and the book.

I took this shot of a camper as I turned to my right while photographing Yosemite Falls on 5/29/09.The Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau is a great organization dedicated to promoting recreation in Madera County, California, and Yosemite National Park. I’m proud to be associated with this group, which publishes the Visitors Guide each year.
