Frank specializes in nature photography and has posted some of the Frank Colosi photograph: Thorne most spectacular deep sky/ Ranch, adjacent to Jess Martin nightscapes, mountains and Park, July 18, 2018. nature shots on Facebook and his website (www.frankcolosiphotography.com). Seeing the Milky Way in the dramatic setting of Sedona, AZ hooked Frank on nightscape photography. In the 4 years he’s been photographing landscape and skies, Frank has become a highly accomplished nature photographer. He especially enjoys nightscape photography because it captures our attention so much. Frank says that there are infinite things beyond our own world and that we are just a speck in something much larger. Frank enjoys the vivid interplay between our backcountry landscape with the night sky. He travels to areas such as Bear’s Ears National Park in Utah, to help preserve the memory of the beautiful dark skies and landscape. He is not averse to encountering the unexpected and will wander in the forest or mountains at night, interacting with wildlife. Join Frank at Wonderfest on August 11 as he captures the big scene and the mood of the moment. Don’t miss his workshop at 9pm.

Come by the exhibitor booth for Mountain Lion Foundation and Julian Mountain Lion Project. See how a protective pen is assembled to protect pets and livestock! Together, we can save our Julian mountain lions! We have handouts and information to share that will help keep your pets and livestock safe, and assist in keeping our mountain lions out of trouble. Fun facts about mountain lions: 1. They are also known as puma, cougar, panther, catamount, and many more. They range from northern British Columbia all the way to Argentina. 2. Mountain lions are the largest of the SMALL cat family and can purr like housecats! 3. They have long sturdy tails that can make up 1/3 of their entire body length. 4. The kittens stay with their mothers for up to 2 years while they learn to hunt and survive on their own. Welcome Lynn Cullens, Executive Director of the Mountain Lion Foundation (all the way from Sacramento), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting mountain lions and their habitat throughout the United States, AND Julian’s own Jane Santorumn, founder/team leader of the Julian Mountain Lion Project. The goal of the Project is to connect Julian residents with mountain lion researchers and experts to find strategies for keeping people, pets, livestock AND mountain lions safe. Both Lynn and Jane work with our community to bring mutually beneficial solutions to mountain lion conflicts. They are dedicated to protecting mountain lions and their habitat while introducing innovative approaches to the management of livestock and pet protection to minimize mountain lion conflict. Their efforts, and those of our neighbors, are increasing the mountain lions’ chances of survival, and enhancing our safety and the protection of our pets and lifestock. Come by the booth and share your fun fact to be entered into a drawing for tickets to visit Lions, Tigers & Bears. You will have the chance to see mountain lions up close at Lions, Tigers and Bears! Kids can also enter the drawing by showing how to respond if they see a mountain lion. If you don’t know what to do, these great supporters of Wonderfest will show you how! A Star Party for all - At Wonderfest, you will get to enjoy a fabulous star party with many amateur astronomers on the field at Jess Martin park with telescopes and binoculars. It’s the peak of the Perseid meteor shower so plan to join us there for this unforgettable show. Come by our exhibitor booth and learn more about preserving our dark skies. Learn how to use a planisphere to help you navigate the night sky. And bring your camera and tripod so our nightscape photographers can help you capture these amazing memories. Visit Julian Dark Sky Network exhibit! - Residents and visitors agree – the starry, dark night sky here in Julian is unforgettable! Did you know we are part of only one percent of the US population that can still see the Milky Way at night? The Julian Dark Sky Network is committed to preserving our beautiful night sky, a working to keep it dark, because it’s not just beautiful - it also affects our environment, our local animals, the Julian community and all the visitors to our amazing back-country.
