Throughout July

• “Beyond Blooms, Textures in Our Garden,” photography by Don McCallister, will be on display and available for sale all month at Booklovers’ Gourmet, 72 E. Main St., Webster.

A statement from the artist: “Look beyond the blooms and you’ll discover a never-ending variety of shoots and textures. And having a talented gardener, such as my wife, to design the garden helps. I hope this collection will inspire its viewers to look for unexpected scenery in our yards and in the natural world.”
