My friend Mike Toth is a great woodturner, and he was very charming in his support for THE ART OF HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING, wanting to have his photo taken with me. Our friend, artist Alain Andre Moreau, took the photo with Mike’s iPhone. Then Mike took a photo of me. It was fun, can’t you tell?
It’s good to have friends like Alain who are generous in spirit and want to help. Alain is a great artist in his own right. For instance, he’s done album covers for B.B. King, among others.
And one more portrait, for good measure. I’m working here with my Canon 100mm macro lens, opened up to f/2.8. It works very well on butterflies, too.
It isn’t every day your book gets published.
Two different crops.
Nice books for the spring.
I picked a nice local site for the background, in a courtyard with some plants and tables.
