Well I don't know what the rules here are about touching 
wildflowers, and I would just as soon not find out. 
These are growing outside a library near me whose 
backyard has been turned into a wet land preserve. I 
figure if I don't touch it, I can't get fined.

Some have mentioned that I should go to a pro lab. Well 
as far as I know these are done by a pro lab. After a 
tragic incident involving people who had two entire 
weeks of training on the 1 hour machine, I swore off 1-
hours except for emergencies. I asked this list for 
recomendations here in the Austin area and two came back 
Holland Photo and Precision Camera. Holland is closer 
and that is where these shots where done.
