Arbor Day 2022
For Arbor Day 2022, I was honored to give a talk about my Return to the Famous Trees of Texas project at Russell Farm Art Center
My little talk and little screen
After seeing my tree posts on facebook, my college art professor Tom Sale invited me to speak at Russell Farm for the day honoring trees.
Technical difficulties threatened to ruin the whole thing - I couldn’t get my presentation to load on the larger tv screen they provided. After numerous attempts, I gave up and showed the small group my laptop while I riffed on my arborilogical adventures. It turned out fine and I gained understanding of how to better prepare.
When I know my subject, I enjoy public speaking. This felt like talking with friends.
It was a great day.
