MT. PLEASANT - From Jan. 2-28, the Washington Library is exhibiting the works of Lyle Moen and Nancy Rash. The theme is evident in the title: “Our Favorite Photos of 34 years”. This represents the culmination of almost half a lifetime of photography. Owing to the work of selecting each piece from their large collection, then captioning and framing them- a process which took four years- this will be their last exhibition, at least for the foreseeable future.

Included herein is a selection of some of their favorite photos. They are all nature shots, a testament to Moen and Rash’s love of the National Parks, and a desire to share them with the community.
