Shooting Stars Those of you who know me know I majored in astronomy. Those of you who know me better know that I spent a quarter of a century plotting meteors and recording meteor shower data, mostly of the Perseid meteor shower in August. Given this, it shouldn't be difficult for you to imagine how sublimely pleasing it was for me to finally come across my first Shooting Stars along the Blue Ridge Parkway three years back. shooting stars • gregg m. pasterick • wildflowers of north america • botany • ecology

With so many new things to see, I don't want to spend too much time hovering over each and every flower, and I can be a world-class hoverer. Instead, I photograph them and move on, leaving identification for later, when I can sit with a field guide, some photos and perhaps a cup of coffee. wildflowers • identification • gregg pasterick • photography • field guides

2003: A Season of California Wildflowers - the Western Mojave Desert My wife and I started the year in Long Beach, where we discovered such new wildflowers as Bush Sunflower and Giant Coreopsis and Sea Dahlias.
