tova stabin is a Jewish lesbian writer and photographer. She retired from her position as Communications Manager for Equity and Inclusion at the University of Oregon a few years back. Since retiring, she has been able to spend time photographing what she truly loves to - birds, flowers, grasses, turtles, trees, skies, rivers and more. She walks daily on the River Path and sits by Delta Ponds watching all the life there changing through the seasons. Her photography is mostly shared with her community in a variety of formats, but she also has had a number of public displays and published photography, often in conjunction with her writing (in addition to her photography and written work at the university). Her photography helps her remember the awe and grace of the world during these challenging times. She lives with her partner/wife of 38 years.
