Sharon Beals' NESTS

Bird’s nests are fascinatingly intricate and beautiful objects, and local photographer Sharon Beals has just come out with an extraordinarily beautiful book documenting fifty distinctive nests, drawn from the collections of several institutions, including the California Academy of Sciences. It’s safe to say that the rich beauty of these photos does ample justice to the exquisite wonder of the nests themselves, and each image is accompanied by an essay about the bird that built it, along with an illustration of the bird by local artist Laurie Wigham. It’s a one-of-a-kind book that would make an amazing gift for anybody, and once you see it you’ll definitely want to have a copy for yourself as well! If you're not convinced yet, you can see some examples of the nest photos here.

Sharon and Laurie are going to drop by Red Hill on Sunday June 5th at 4 o’clock, to talk about Nests and sign copies. Come join us!
