PEAK BLOOM DAY @ THE OREGON GARDEN

The Oregon Gardens are at their peak right now!

Come spend a leisurely photo walk, snapping blooms and buds, greens and shoots at one of Oregon's most spectacular gardens. :)

The day is going to be perfect for shooting and walking (overcast) which allows for images without harsh shadows.

PROJECT TIP: After we finish I will offer a software tip to make a collage of your images from the day! You can print one 8x10 or any size of your captures to frame or share.

We will meet in front of the Entrance (Gift Shop.) There IS an entrance fee.
From April to October, adults are $14, seniors (60+) are $12, teens (12-17) are $10, and youth (5-11) are $7.

LETS CREATE TOGETHER
Anyone can wonder, craft and be an artist in our modern world.
This accessible act of regeneration combined with artistic creation is a candle wick on which to burn a lifelong passion for photography while collaborating with the natural world. We find ourselves in a time when nature and the planet need our focus and loving eyes upon her, more than ever.
This artistic practice is a passionate way to heal inside each day or week. Science supports this activity and all its benefits through the simple act of spending time with nature.
Each day and week, as we set out, camera in hand, we embark on an infinite, silent but powerful act of love.
With this group we learn together, create together, and share after to inspire our daily creations.

Happy Wondering! I hope to see you soon!
