CC Photographic SocietyNovember 10, 7 pm, Nybak WingDorothy Cutter will present a slide show from a winter trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Tetons taken in late January. The roads in the Tetons were empty, she said, and she felt like she had the whole area to herself. The waterfalls were quite challenging to photograph, but when she did get a shot, it was a success. “Although the areas you can get to are limited, what you do see is amazing!”There will be no program meeting in December. u — BeJae Blake
