Bisbee Arizona - June '09 Happenings

I'll keep this first monthly blog brief since it's ;ate in June. However, there's lots happening in Bisbee Arizona come this July. This month though, suffice it to say that Bizzart Gallery is running a feature show, JOURNEY THROUGH ECUADOR. The show features photographs taken recently on a photo workshop in Ecuador. The photos, taken by Larry Elkins (your's truly) and Linda Guinter, range from photos of the Pacific coast rainforests, the Southern Andean highlands, fishing villages and the Isla de la Plata, an island a few miles off the pacific coast. My next blog covering events in July will feature information on Bisbee's old fashioned Fourth of July events as well as the Warren Baseball Park centennial on July 5th. I will also have the lowdown on Bizzart Gallery's snnual OUT OF THE BOX exhibit.
