Nature Vignettes by Rex Burress

 

Rex was born in the No Creek country of northern Missouri. Eventually he found his way west to Oakland, where he worked at the Lake Merritt Waterfowl Refuge for over 30 years. He and his wife Jo now live on the Feather River, where he continues to explore nature, take photographs, and record his experiences and thoughts.
