Quilts represent significant hours of labor and often became heirlooms, passed through generations of family. Quilts: The Artistry of Home showcases a selection of quilts from the Michigan State University Collection that were made during the early 20th century, with a focus on the era of the Great Depression.  Quilt Discovery Day – Saturday, July 20 | 11 AM – 2 PM

Join John Fleming as he shares his passion for nature/wildlife photography which he has pursued for the past forty-five years. As a Life Member of the Michigan Audubon he will share his field experiences and observations captured from early spring through early summer. His primary focus will be on birds with an occasional view of mammals. Three geographic regions will be covered in this program: Florida, Southern Michigan and North Park, Colorado. These areas provide a variety of habitats and the images will reflect his observations of a wide range of bird behavior. True to form birds in migration offer a myriad of photographic opportunities as do the courtship and mating behavior of his winged subjects. Most of his migration images are right here in Michigan. In addition to the courting and mating behavior, we will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of nest site activities and foraging techniques in diverse environments. As an experienced photographer John will also share tools and tips for identifying birds and capturing beautiful images.
