About the Author

Neil Jennings is an ardent hiker, photographer and outdoorsman who loves “getting down in the dirt” pursuing his keen interest in wildflowers. For 22 years he co-owned a fly-fishing retail store in Calgary, and he has fly-fished extensively, in both fresh and saltwater, for decades. His angling pursuits usually lead him to wildflower investigations in a variety of locations. He taught fly-fishing-­related courses in Calgary for over 20 years, and his photographs and writings on that subject have appeared in a number of outdoor magazines. Neil has previously written several volumes published by Rocky Mountain Books, dealing with wildflowers in western Canada, fly-fishing, and hiking venues in southern Alberta. He lives in Calgary, Alberta, with Linda, his wife of over 40 years. They spend a lot of time outdoors together chasing fish, flowers and, as often as possible, grandchildren.
