Terry Thormin: The Natural Beauty of the Southern Okanagan
Although Terry Tormin has worked both as an entomology technician for the Royal Alberta Museum and a field ornithologist for private environmental consulting companies, he is self-taught and describes himself as a general naturalist. This interest dates back to his early teens and his interest in nature photography dates back to his first field trip to the arctic in 1974. His photographs have appeared in numerous books and magazines and are found on signage in nature parks both here in the Comox Valley and in various other parks in North America. He is the organizer and chairperson for the nature photography group.
Terry will offer a presentation that is the result of two 10-day trips in the southern Okanagan, one in May of 2013 and the other in May of 2014. The purpose of the trips was to photograph all aspects of nature. Although he concentrated mostly on the birds, he did photograph everything else he encountered, including wildflowers, insects and mammals. Hopefully this presentation will bring back memories to those who have visited the Okanagan before and inspire those who have not to visit this richly diverse part of the province.
