SUMMARY:Great Blue Herons: A Study of Patience and Grace
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Bacon Free Library from May 21st to June 3rd to enjoy Babsje’s stunning photography collection\, Great Blue Herons: A Study of Patience and Grace. \nBabsje was a local photographer who focused her lens on the Great Blue Herons in and around Lake Cochituate and on the Charles\, including at the dam in South Natick. She spent many very happy days floating in her kayak\, and the herons became so accustomed to her quiet presence that she was able to beautifully document their private grandeur for all to experience. \n“Alas\, my days of photographing the magnificent Great Blue Herons from the cockpit of my kayak floating on the lake have come to an end.” – Posted by Babsje on December 20\, 2023\, shortly before her death in January. babsjeheron.wordpress.com. \nShe is greatly missed. \n  \nPhotographs are available for purchase upon request. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Massachusetts Audubon Society.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Mysteries of Cats
DESCRIPTION:The Bacon Free Library is happy to host Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist Stephen Quandt for a virtual discussion of cat behavior.  Why does your kitty launch drive-by ankle biting attacks?  Does she really have to wake you up so early for food?  And what is with the overly aggressive play-fighting between the two tabbies? \nStephen Quandt\, behavior expert who has worked with the Animal Care Centers of NYC and the ASPCA\, will explain these common cat behaviors from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that help shape their furry lives.  For example\, he’ll explain the influence of the mother/kitten relationship on the kittens’ innate needs for food\, attention\, and comfort. \nThis discussion will include a Q& A portion where you can seek guidance for your feline friends. \n\nThis program will be held over Zoom. Please register to receive the program link.

SUMMARY:Ongoing Art Display at the BFL – Carol Keefe & Bobby Reeve
DESCRIPTION:Visit the BFL to enjoy the current\, nature-themed exhibit created by two local artists. This exhibit pairs the lush ocean landscapes of Carol Keefe with the true-to-life bird sculptures of Bobby Reeve.  This art will be displayed through March 27th. \n  \nCarol Keefe\nCarol Keefe is a long-term artist member of the Artist Association of Nantucket (AAN)\, and is represented at their gallery.  She has had several Featured Artist shows there and won Best of Show in the AAN Gallery in 2007.  In 2014\, Carol was honored with the 2014 Painting Award from the AAN.  Carol has studied at both the Decordova and Danforth Museum Schools\, as well as with Sherre Wilson Ray and Sandra Flavin.   Carol’s work is displayed at Brown Basket Gallery on South Wharf\, the Nantucket Looms\, The Sherborn Inn\, Natick Artist Open Studios\, and numerous private collections\, as well as in her home studio near Cisco Beach and South Natick. \nCarol’s art\, in her own words: \nI am inspired by the ever-changing light and color at the horizon. My medium of choice is oil on board or canvas. My paintings are often large\, horizontal pieces emphasizing the meeting of sky and sea on Nantucket Island. My goal is to capture the feelings of summer on our coast. \n  \nBobby Reeve\nFor over 50 years\, Bobby Reeve has been a woodworker in New Hampshire and Massachusetts doing house carpentry and running a one-man shop for furniture making and bird carvings. Both his parents were watercolorists and he started painting with their mentor\, Harold Stevenson\, many years ago. \nBobby’s art\, in his own words: \nI always wanted to fly\, and I don’t mean in a plane! Somehow this explains my love of birds — their flight\, colors\, shapes\, songs\, and behaviors. I love the idea of a “bird’s eye view” and carving and sculpting almost get me there.
