Local Nature Tasting

This posting is shamelessly promotional.

At 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 5^th, I shall give a presentation at the Visitors’ Centre of Kokanee Creek Park (BC Parks’ map, Google’s map). Part of a weekly series, Science in the Park, my offering is entitled

Local Nature Tasting

It will be a naturalist’s version of a wine tasting. 

Often for a wine tasting, a theme is chosen and participants are invited to make new distinctions among subtly different varieties. As my tastes run to observing local nature, I have chosen themes from among my own pictures. Some themes feature colourful bears, dancing devils, perplexing bows, and, ta-da, local ogopogoes. Within each theme, assorted images encourage savoury distinctions; following each theme, a palate cleanser clears the way for the next. The local constraint is easy as most of my pictures were taken within or near the Park.
