Hi - Brief update: I'm a 58 year old man who loves nature. I have worked in a Public Garden for 34 years and am very much a plant geek. I live and work at The Holden Arboretum which is east of Cleveland, Ohio. I've been taking photos for years and have always enjoyed the process. I love life on wide angled or the macro scale.

Flickr is my artistic outlet and I enjoy my time here. I remain amazed by the warmness and openness of the Flickr community and their amazing photographic talent. Thanks to all my Flickr friends and contacts for their amazing talent and their support.

Like everyone else says on Flickr, the images in my photostream are mine, but I am open to sharing. Please contact me first.

Please note: If you don't have a buddy icon and/or do not have any images available to me in your photostream, please do not add me as a contact or add any of my images as your Favorites or I will block you.

Thank you very much. - peace to you all - brian

    "I don't remember what instantly attracted me to him - the name "treehugger," one of his exceptionally beautiful photographs, or his icon picture. So I checked out his stream and everything I saw was so beautiful I have been addicted to his photos ever since. Brian is a master photographer and a very gifted artist, and also a great teacher. I have learned so much from his photos and his fascinating descriptions. His photographs are taken so well, I can see them being on a calendar or in a book. And it is exciting that we share the same intense love of nature and its mysteries. Thanks Brian, for being my friend and for giving us all such wonderful works of art."

    "Brian views the great outdoors through eyes open wide. Not only does he see Mother Nature's big pictures, but her little wonders as well. His photographic compositions are always original, and as welcome as a breath of fresh air. As an added bonus, he adds a bit of scientific fact to his presentations...so I learn as I enjoy. I look forward to what this treehugger has to offer each and every day."
