On Monday, January 30 at the monthly meeting the club experienced a delightful presentation. All the recent rains foreshadow a rebirth of life in our outdoor spaces. The meeting program featured a visual and descriptive presentation by John Trudeau. Here we see close-up views of some of the simply beautiful bits of nature that we encounter every day – if we take the time to look. There are images of “critters”, plants, rocks and other expressions of nature here in the East Bay hills and beyond. We will see how different patterns in nature are expressed in surprising ways – when we look closely.
