Of all the places I have called home West County (Shelburne Falls and the surrounding communities) is of the most dear to my heart. Images in this gallery were gathered over several years as I worked at developing my photographic eye and style. Many of the these flowers are from gardens that I tended as an independent gardener-for-hire while putting myself through college. Please enjoy and look close as another passion of mine is seen by the careful observer - where there are plants there are insects!
