We will start our time with a short lesson on capturing nature in photography. We will go over techniques that can be used to get best shots in the outdoors.

Instead of putting the items on the scavenger hunt list in a bag, you will capture them in your camera to bring back to share with the group.  See how many shots/items you can find or create.

*For your protection, please wear long pants, socks, and close-toed shoes.

Then, back inside to create a few pages of a nature scrapbook to put your future photos on.  Bring your own scrapbooking supplies to share or trade, and/or use some of ours.  We will share scrapbooking techniques and ideas while we create a page or three.

About Nelle

I am Nelle. I grew up in rural, small town, Ohio. When I was young, I learned a lot about homesteading from my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, 4-H, FFA, and others around me. Now, I’m all grown up, have 6 children of my own, and plan to teach them everything I know. Here on Mama’s Homestead, we talk and write about homesteading, homeschooling, and kidsteading (homesteading with kids). We teach our kids about survival, self-sufficiency, gardening (vegetable, herb, flower), orchard, beekeeping, home keeping, soap making, harvesting, cooking, food preservation, livestock, nature, crafts, homesteading tools and wares, and more… Welcome to my homestead…come and learn with us!
