California Wildflowers and Climate Change For over 20 years, award-winning Marin photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter have produced exquisite photographs of California wildflowers that connect us to the beauty of the Golden State while raising awareness of threats that natural habitats face from climate change. The exhibition spotlights flowers associated with the state’s many geographic regions, the photographic techniques involved in capturing these delicate subjects, and the expanding impact of human activity on wild spaces.

Ukiah Massage 304 N State Street Lindsey Buschbacher is a self-taught custom sign maker and loves what she does. She started her business “Country Signs” 2 years ago. In the beginning she received orders from family and friends. But when their family and friends viewed her work her business started to boom. She is seeing her little business grow and grow.
She graduated from Mendocino College in 2003 with an Associates Degree and in 2005 received her Bachelor’s Degree in Sales and Marketing at DeVry University. She now lives in Ukiah with her husband, Matt and their three boys; Daniel, Jackson and Klayton. She is a stay home Mom and loves it. Her family and friends are her biggest supporters and her husband helps any time he’s needed. He’s a great carpenter and she has learned from him.
“I love designing my signs, but I really enjoy my customers reactions when I can create exactly what they asked for.” Her biggest reward was an order that was for the memory of two little girls who passed on too soon in their young lives. After giving the signs to their Mother, she started to cry and stood there in awe. “It touched my heart immensely, knowing that something I made– meant so much. Their initial reactions are the most rewarding than anything else.”
If you have any questions or want more information about her signs, she can be reached at 707-972-2793 or on Facebook at facebook.com/lindzw2001.
