The Beauty of Local Landscape and Wildlife Captured in Images & Poetry
Ola resident Patricia Fennell recently published a beautiful book containing her poetry and paintings reflecting her experiences living on the edge of the Squaw Creek. A 40 year resident of the area, Patricia has had decades to soak in its wonder and has beautifully captured this with her words and images. Anyone who has enjoyed the wilderness will appreciate and relate to what she has shared in this book.
Patricia has generously donated a copy of her book to our library. If you’d like to enjoy this book, contact the library!
