The Eastside subchapter of the Washington Native Plant Society invites you to attend their program:

  

Photographing the Wildflowers of Mount Rainier National  

Park.

By Donovan Tracy, co-author of the Burke Museum’s Alpine

      Flowers of Mt. Rainier

 

on Tuesday, October 15, 7:30PM

at Bellevue Regional Library, 1111

110th Avenue NE, Bellevue, Meeting Room #1

 
Join wildflower photographer Donovan Tracy, in this exploration

of the alpine plants of Mount Rainier National Park. Donovan

will present an overview of the Park’s elevation zones (forest,

subalpine and alpine) through striking photographs of plants representative

of each zone and their respective habitats. He will also

share a few of his favorite wildflower hikes within the park and

show some of the endemic flowers he has found on these trails.

For photographers, this talk will include tips on good composition,

how to do a photo study of a plant in the field, and how the

purpose of the photograph will influence one’s approach. Is it

being taken for artistic purposes? For scientific documentation?

Both? A Q&A period will follow the presentation.

This is the second program offered by the newly-forming Eastside

sub-chapter of the Central Puget Sound Chapter of the

Washington Native Plant Society. It is free and open to all. If you

live on the Eastside or are interested in helping to establish this

sub-chapter please contact Bonnie Harpel at gidget142@gmail.
