  • Named trout lily because their spotted leaves resemble a speckled trout, these trout lilies when growing in the right location can create a vast carpet in an open hardwood forest.
    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • A perfect detail shot of a dimpled trout lily. easily recognized by their mottled leaves, they bloom in the wintertime in spectacular yellow carpets in old hardwood forests. This particular colony is not only extremely rare, it might be the only colony found in all of Florida in the wild, as this one was near the Alabama-Florida-Georgia tri-state line.
    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • This extremely rare lily found in North Florida near Chattahoochee is rarely found south of North Georgia, as their population has receded to the Appalachian Mountains regions to the north over the millennia. As climate slowly changes, so does soil composition, water availability, the overhead tree canopy species that provide the shade necessary for trout lilies, and general climate as a whole.
    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • This forest in Southern Georgia is known for having the largest population of trout lilies in the world. There are literally millions of them!
    Dimpled Trout Lily
  • Very rare in this location in South Georgia, this small patch of trout lilies is listed as endangered, and has survived in this location for thousands of years. It is believed that a rare set of circumstances has allowed this colony to persist while the surrounding environment has changed over the centuries. This area still retains the same soil and climate conditions this entire region once shared millennia ago and is now found much further to the north in the Appalachian Mountains.

  • Also known as the spotted wakerobin, the spotted trillium is found in very scattered pockets in undistrubed rich mesic forests in parts of Georgia, Southeastern South Carolina, Alabama, and extreme North Florida.

  • First light peeks over the steep basalt canyon walls to touch the Yakima River in the incredibly picturesque Yakima Canyon at dawn. With this chilly springtime morning, the sounds of bats, frogs and coyotes fade, only to be replaced by early-rising songbirds, blue herons and the splashing of hungry rainbow trout.

  • Cowiche Creek in Yakima County, WA is a critically important waterway for coho and chinook salmon, as well as the endangered steelhead trout. Also found in the same waterway system are beaver as well as a host of supporting plant communities and wildlife as it passed through desert-steppe terrain. This photograph was taken in spring as melting snow in the springtime creates a surge in snowmelt runoff through Cowiche Canyon.

  • After photographing this beautiful alpine lake at the top of Snoqualmie Pass from all directions on a very cloudy day, the sky opened up as I was getting ready to pack up and leave. This is truly one of the most beautiful lakes I've seen so far in the mountains. There were trout swimming in the water and a bald eagle screaming somewhere in the distance.

  • A group of spotted trilliums  rise above a carpet of rare trout lilies in southern Georgia. Slightly different from its endangered cousin - the confederate trillium - this one grows fairly high about the fallen leaves of the early spring forest floor.
