Greetings, I work for Central Indiana Land Trust and would like to use your beautiful featherfoil photo (middle one) from this page: https://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/hottonia_inflata.shtml . We have a newsmagazine article about this plant, which is in a property we are protecting in southern Indiana. Would you be able to give me a high-res version? I will credit you in the article. Thanks in advance if you can help out.

Just wanted to say thanks for providing these nice detailed pictures with proper scientific names listed, they have been invaluable in id-ing some of my more troublesome specimens for a plant taxonomy class.

I just spent two hours to view your Nothing Gold Can Stay, I love your photos of those wildflowers, I have been taken wildflowers myself since Spring of 2008, but we don't have that many species here, your photos make me feel that I should move to Arkansas. Thanks for your sharing. Daphne Saung at San Diego, California.

I spent the weekend in the Ouachita Mountians doing a bike race. I found your site trying to find a picture of a cute little lilly lining the trail. It looks like lily cristata. Would that species be found in the Ouachita Mtns. or was I seeing something else? Thanks for the great resource.

Craig, thanks to Sharon, I found your photos. I have truly enjoyed them. I know you are elated to be free to roam the wilds of Arkansas and capture the fanastic waterfalls and flowers. Keep roaming and snapping. I appreciate your sharing your work.

Craig, I found your page via google and I am glad to know I am not the only one who is interested in wildflowers. I hope you will continue to update your galleries and share some spots where we could have a field day taking pictures of all these wildflowers. Great work!

I have a smile from ear to ear when I see all of these comments from people all over the States who enjoy the passion & hard work that you put into this gallery. It is a great honor to share this amazing journey with you & your beautiful ladies of the fields in the great state of Arkansas that we call home. Thank You My Mister for making me a part of your great passion for beauty & your wonderful giving spirit.

Just found your site and hope you can help me identify this thing. I live in North Central, AR, deep in the woods. This year is the first time I have noticed this little plant. It is small, with deeply toothed leaves - kind of like a cinquofil (sp?) The only reason I noticed it is that there are deep red, spiky berry type balls gathered on the stem - they are about the size of a wild strawberry, but again, heavily spiked. If you like, I can upload a photo.

Great images! Thanks for the efforts.

Craig,

I am creating a pocket field guide of rare, threatened, and endangered species in West Virginia. This guide will be distributed to forest workers with the intention of raising awareness about species at risk in the State, and promoting compliance with federal laws and regulations. It will contain images and detailed descriptions for each species.
I found two pictures in your gallery that I am interested in using in the field guide. I am writing you with the hope that you may be able to grant me permission to use these images. If you have any questions regarding the project please feel free to ask.

The details of the images I am interested in are listed below:

Two images of Parnassia grandifolia, Large leaf grass-of-Parnassus, photographed by Craig Fraiser

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Sincerely,

Alayna Howard,

A Day At Pam's Grotto may just be my favorite. Very hard to choose a favorite when they're all so beautiful. Your passion shines in all you do!!!

Great work. I especially like those whole plant shots!

This is wonderful
Jean 14-Mar-2009 03:54
Craig, You have a wonderful gift that allows you not only to see the beauty of the flowers but to capture it at its finest so that others of us have an opportunity to share the experience. Your work is fabulous and I thank you for sharing it.

Craig,
I posted a comment elsewhere about my photos of Pinnacle Mt. St. Park photos. You might be interested to know that I also post those photos to Flickr as MGShannonC. They're geotagged, so you can find them that way, too. We'd love to have you post your photos to the Arkansas Wildflowers Flickr pool in your spare time. :-)

You just know there's a God when you look at these beautiful photo's of wild flowers in Arkansas. Thank you for sharing them with me.

Great work.
Brenda 07-Feb-2008 16:21
Your images are awe inspiring! My mother and father, both from Benton, would have appreciated your photos so much. Your photos make me think of them...and Heaven. I DO think you should get them published in a book!!! Brenda in CA

Craig - one of the best galleries I have seen for some time - includes my favourite subjects of clouds and wild flowers! When you do your slide show, you have too many to pick from. Stay with that Oly 8080 - it allows you to see what is in the background so that you can eliminate fussy bits - a Reflex when focusing a max. aperture puts these fussy bits out of focus so you can't see them until after the exposure. Your approach is far better than many professionals that I know. Well done.....Peter

Guest 22-Jun-2007 05:12
This is stellar work. If I ever see you, I might just ask for your signature.
Guest 08-Mar-2007 07:42
I'm totally speechless. Good stuff.

Excellent photos, Craig. I've ID'd several flowers from these galleries.
Bernard Bosmans19-Oct-2006 04:55
I truly enjoyed this gallery, such wonderful flowers and beautiful captured.
Selvin Chance28-Aug-2006 08:51
Superb macro photography and even more impressive, done with fairly modest equipment. I think your work undoubtedly demonstrates that equipment alone does not guarantee success.

Voted on your "Favorties Gallery" since I think others should get an opportunity to see your work.

Craig,

Excellent collection of Arkansas' natural beauty. Your nicely done photos of waterfalls and wildflowers make me look forward to my own trip to the upper/middle Buffalo River area in the next few days. Hope I haven't missed the dogwoods and that the recent rains have the wildflowers popping up in great numbers and the creeks running full. I have most of Tim Ernst's books and they have been indispensable in helping me find many of the Arkansas' natural wonders. I'm sure you have Hunter's books on Arkansas wildflowers and trees, shrubs and vines...I have found them very helpful as well.

Keep up the nice work.

Dick
