-Explore the exhibition with our interpretive guide
-Dress up as a crane, build a nest, & forage for food

Steve and Jodi have been drawn to photograph Swaner Preserve, each with similar passion but differing visions. Their photographs are a love letter to grand and timeless beauty; to fog, snow, wind and rain; to mountains and grasses; to big skies and the creatures who live beneath them. They photograph to preserve the fleeting moment; to share with others this ever-changing meeting of earth, sky, and nature’s light show that graces us with its presence every day.

This exhibition was created by a partnership between Steve, Jodi, and the Swaner Preserve. Esta exhibición está disponible en español.
