Hey everyone. Thought it was time to "formally" introduce myself, so here's a self-portrait of yours truly with one of my rhododendrons. I live in north-central Virginia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I teach high school math and science. I've always had a great interest in photography, but have only recently gotten more serious about it. Anyway, I've learned a great deal since joining NPN. Special thanks to the folks in flora for all your fantastic advice and comments. Quoting Bill Fach, it is indeed the "finest Flora forum on the planet".
