Here’s the High Desert Voices April 2025 newsletter for your reading pleasure. Lots of nice photos as well!
This newsletter is published by volunteers at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. We have a great team of writers, photographers, and editors that help put this publication together. I’ve been a part of that team since 2013.

Articles this month include one about the many forms of fractals, one on the history of flannel, one on portraits of Native Americans created by Frank S. Matsura, and one on removing the invasive American Bullfrog. The last page of the newsletter includes a list of upcoming events related to the Museum.
Please enjoy the High Desert Voices April 2025 issue!

Thanks for this excellent newsletter. What a wonderful spot to visit. Can you tell us more about that fantastic image on the snowy mound?!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. The museum has several sculptures scattered throughout the grounds. That one, by Rip Caswell, is called “The Battle.” I think it looks great in the snow!
Thank you! What a fitting title.
