I'm a babyboomer and I'm going to retire this year!!!! I'll have a new beginning. Exciting time!
After more than 30 years working, it's time for me to relax and enjoy life before it's too late!
I'm a scientist, but I have a passion in gardenning, especially flower-garden, and photography. I have a small greenhouse attaching to my house to keep my troipcal plants from freezing winter in St. Louis, Missouri. Around 1999, my epiphyllum flowers were so beautiful and I want to take their pictures to keep. I have a Nikon film camera that I used mostly to take pictures of flowers! The flower pictures are so beautiful, and I want to keep for myself, so the next thing is to publish them on the web. I first published them in some free web servers, moving around many time, and finally, I decided to register a name and placed it in a pay server. A free website is born! It is www.flowerpictures.net . The number of flower pictures keep growing, and my website is very popular now. If you search for flower pictures in Google, my site is at the top of the search list! All pictures in my site are free for personal use, and I want to keep that way.
Beside flower pictures, I've been taken many pictures of scenery, animals, people... and any thing that beautiful to me. Therefore, I added a new site to display these pictures, it is www.freebeautifulpictures.com . This site is part of my old flower pictures site. I hope you enjoy them.
