Learning To Use My Canon - Week 4
While looking for something to do, I found myself on the Travel OK site. It's amazing the resources, activities and events that are happening right here in OK. This weekend at Sequoya State Park they were doing eagle watching tours. We went for the tour but stayed to play tourist in the park.
We were told that the Audubon Society would be set up at a local nesting tree with telescopes and binoculars. After a quick google search we learned that Audubon society are groups of people who want to help preserve eco systems and focus mainly on birds.
All of the society members were so helpful and encouraging. They loaned each of my kids binoculars and moved the telescopes up and down as my kids stopped for their first look at a bald eagle.
They also told us about other resources that are available and great for kids. Local nature centers and hikes, along with a LIVE eagle cam:

Not only does taking my kids out on outings like this give me the chance to take lots of pictures, but it's fun to pass on this love of learning that I have. I can't wait until spring comes, I am ready to shoot more than these dreary backgrounds and I am looking for field guides so that my kids can learn about the plants and animals as we are exploring.
Any tips, critiques or ideas for photo shoots? Got a great pin on Pinterest for photography? I would love to see it!
