Creativity has given us the opportunity to to just that with the menagerie images at the Quincy Street Gallery.

St Francis photographers represented are Jennifer Padgett, Allison Grice, and Jordan Zweygardt.

Jennifer is exploring the interplay of black and white photos with a splash of color. The result has the same feeling as that moment just before sleep, going through that door into an unknown room. Her photography service can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Kaptured-301500400763/
Art appreciation running a little rampant last night at Quincy St.
Allison Grice's pictures, on the other hand are rich with texture and the beauty that can be found in rough places.

Jordan has also taken a simple theme but his picture prompts the imagination to build a story around an empty swing.

Representing Nebraska is Bill Cole. His work prompts our inner child to play. Horses, a kitten and a field of newborn wheat reawaken moments of both childhood play and reverie. You can find more of his work at: http://www.billcoephotos.smugmug.com

Bonnie Stasser's photos have a deep 3 dimensional look. The field and sky picture makes you feel that you are outside looking at a far sky. She is from Goodland and her website is : http://www.StasserGalleries.com

Chris McLeod, from Denver is patient and persistent and proof of that can be seen in his Seagull picture. The bird is just leaving the water with it's wings at full vertical. It is an amazing picture. His website is: http://www.chrismcleodphotography.com
Some of the Artists and their work.
Kathy Davis-Vrbas from Atwood is also ready for the once in a lifetime shot. Her reflection from the floor of the Regean National Airport is a delightful montage of reflections and is untouched. It is as she saw and captured it.

Jack Stevens from McCook NE has several large prints of flowers. The colors and detail are perfect and gives you a bee's eye view of the intimate beauty of Nature.

If you are interested in any of the pictures on display, call Kary Zweygardt at 785-332-0308.
The Gallery is open Thursday and Friday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm and Saturday from 9:30 to 12:30.

WHAT ARE COVER CROPS?
Written by Fred Wedel, Retired NRCS District Conservationist

Cover crops are used to manage cropland and reduce soil erosion, improve soil fertility, improve soil quality, improve water storage, reduce pressure from weeds, pests and diseases, and improve biodiversity and wildlife in an agroecosystem.
