Lynn Watson, 1947 - 2016

Hello all - this is Lynn's son James posting - Lynn passed away last week, the coroner thinks it was heart disease that lead to a heart attack.

This is quite a shock to all of us, and seemingly came out of the blue.

James, your mom will be missed! She has been a friend of mine on both Flickr and iNaturalist, although we never met face-to-face. In fact, your mom was the one who encouraged me to add my photos to iNaturalist! My thoughts are with you and your family.

Everyone at Channel Islands Restoration are very sad about your loss. She was a very, very talented and interesting person, and she's the one who urged me to post my photos on iNaturalist. I'm so sorry. Thank you for letting us know.

Take care,

Most sincere condolences... I didn't know her, but I knew her observations and the value that they provided to this network. The legacy lives on through these contributions. Again, condolences to you and the entire family.

I just saw this and am so sorry. I only interacted with her on iNaturalist but she was such an asset to this community in so many ways. Her beautiful photos and important data will live on here.
