Bay WEBS will offer a free
course for emerging landscape and
nature photographers 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. Sunday, June 25, in the Ne-

The course is part of the
“Explore Nature” series of hikes,

natural resources and natural re-
source-based economy,” organiz-
ers said.
The class is limited to 10 peo-
ple, who will need to bring their
own cameras and be familiar with
transferring photos to computers.
WEBS will provide transportation
to natural areas.

ASTORIA — Author Matt
Love will hold a half-day
ocean-themed writing
workshop 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, July 15, in an
Astoria home.
“The ocean is a tremen-
dous part of my creative
life,” Love said, “and I dis-
cover many of my best ideas
for writing when I walk
along the beach or watch the
ocean from afar. Thinking
and writing about the ocean
is a great way to open one’s
mind.
