number 700


Kris Light has a passion: wildflowers. She photographs what she finds and maintains a website displaying her collection. This is better than pressed flowers because they in time lose their color, becoming brittle with age. Kris’s flowers look just as lush and vibrant as the day she clicked the shutter.

Last week Kris came to Ijams Nature Center in search of any flower she had never photographed, it would be number 700 in her portfolio. She found it, a prairie trillium. Isn't it a beautiful living thing?

Visit her website: www.easttennesseewildflowers.com to see it and the other 699 East Tennessee wildflowers she has recorded.
