"Views of Nature from a Kayak"

Bob saw notice of this free event in the Courant, and it was wonderful. It was held at the Babcock Library in Warrenville (center of the bustling little town of Ashford). Jeff Feldmann (http://www.jeffphotos.com/) is a photographer who loves kayaking and nature. From his kayak, he’s seen insects and birds that are very rare around here and only viewed in places with few if any people. The show was arranged by type of creature he viewed, and included gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, bridges, clouds, and rock formations. He related conversations he was able to have with some of the animals, and they were very cooperative, yielding some amazing pictures. There were only 15-20 people there, unfortunately. It was an excellent program, highly informative and entertaining, and couldn’t help but bring a deeper appreciation of the bounty of animal life in Connecticut. (Jan)
