Women in the Outdoors








I just returned from the Women in the Outdoors event in the Ocala National Forest where I did Landscape Photography classes for the participants.

I didn't know what to expect when I arrived Friday but it turned out to be a very well organized event with lots of very nice people who love the outdoors. I was especially impressed with the number of Mothers and Daughters who came to spend the weekend together. The event lasts three days and as classes in archery, handguns, shotguns, canoeing, kayaking, outdoor cooking, fitness, fishing and many others and of course my landscape photography class.

The activities for after dinner Friday night included making duct tape purses, which actually turned out to be a lot of fun. I made a duct tape memory card holder since I have little use for a purse :) I never knew duct tape came in so many colors.

Saturday, I did four classes in a nice open air classroom and had time to get out and do some photography myself between classes.

This was very well organized, friendly and family oriented event and I'll definitely go back next time if they invite me. You can check out their programs by clicking here.

Upon reading the title I was expecting WOMEN OUTDOORS. Lovely photos but no women. I do want to see your purse.
