Wilderness Concepts Photo is the brainchild and second profession of former practicing Veterinarian, Dr. Larry Friedman, a widely recognized photographer, accomplished in landscape, floral, commercial and portrait photography. His landscape gallery includes Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Northeast Utah and Southwest Wyoming, Upstate New York, as well as the images of the history and beauty of Wyoming. He is now living in the Chicago area.

Larry’s floral images demonstrate the art of macro photography and the impressionistic views of flowers illustrate his creativity. He has graciously offered to let me post his floral images on the Wiseelder website.  Dr Larry has been an “internet friend” of mine for many years, and we have never met.  All of his images are offered for purchase as canvases or prints. Please enjoy his website and contact him for pricing information.

How about a Springtime trip to Washington’s Skagit Valley Tulip Festival?  These are Evie’s photos, taken April 18, 2010 at the Roozengaarde Display Garden in Mt Vernon, Washington.  Believe it or not, these pictures were taken on the last day of the Tulip Festival; therefore the tulips were even more glorious in prior days.

From its website: Roozengaarde was established in 1985 by the Roozen family and Washington Bulb Company, Inc.  The Roozen family business of growing Tulips, Daffodils and Irises is the largest in the world, covering Skagit Valley with more than 1000 acres of field blooms and 16 acres of greenhouses. Each fall, the 3 acre show garden is planted with around three hundred thousand spring-flowering bulbs, providing a gorgeous display of color during the early weeks of spring. Roozengaarde is an official Sponsor of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. We welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors, from all over the country and from around the world, to our garden and store during the festival. Thousands of full-color bulb catalogs are distributed each year. Bulbs are shipped each fall to thousands of homes across the United States and Canada. Fresh-cut flowers are available for purchase or for shipment anywhere in the United States year-round. All of our bulbs and flowers are purchased directly from Washington Bulb Co., Inc.
