An Audio-description Sampler of a Sacred Datura Wildflower Image and How it was Created
Written and narrated by conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter
This audio-description of a beautiful Datura wildflower, and how we photographed it in the field, represents a new phase of our project: "Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change." This phase makes Nature's beauty accessible to people who are visually impaired.
Please help us make this unique dream come true by making a tax deductible donation through MarinLink.org/donations. The project name is "Beauty and the Beast." Or contact us about sponsorships, partnerships, volunteer opportunities and other ways you can support us.
We hope you enjoyed this sample of our vision for an audio-described version of our 12 time award winning coffee table book.
