Monthly Meeting: Behind The Scenes of Nature Blogging

Behind the Scenes of Nature Blogging
10 Years As A Daily Nature Blogger: It's not all pretty birds and poop jokes

For more than 10 years Dee Fairbanks Simpson has created a daily nature blog. This is no ordinary blog. Each one is created from a photography she has taken, with a few guest photographers throughout the year. The nature subject is researched for accuracy and interesting facts. Then comes the secret sauce, Dee creates a blog with descriptive lines that rhyme. Help Dee celebrate her 10 year milestone and learn many stories about her journey in creating a learning legacy.
