About the images
Though the photos on my blog increasingly are my own, I do often rely on others' images. You will notice that they serve as links back to the places I got them, except in the case of pictures in common use throughout the web, are free clip art, or the like.

It is not my intent to appropriate images as my own or use others' images for monetary gain. If images require permissions before use, I am careful to ask first before posting. It is my intent to give credit wherever possible. I remain grateful that the web is such a visually stimulating place.

All images from Illinois Wildflowers and by the artist Albert Krehbiel are used with permission.
