Lebsack, Tom

In retirement, Tom Lebsack became interested first in digital photography and soon, in wildflowers, mainly because of hiking in the Colorado Rockies, Big Bend and around Austin, Texas. His interest in the images soon developed into a curiosity about the plants themselves. Dusting off his limited knowledge of botany and learning much more over the years, Tom has made an effort to correctly identify and describe what he has photographed.

Tom and Linda, his wife of 50-plus years, work together finding and photographing plants, and she is responsible for spotting many of the plants seen here. They live in Austin, Texas, and in Breckenridge, Colorado. Both places offer fantastic opportunities for wildflower photography. They make many trips around the two states each season finding and photographing plants.
