I would love to learn how to take better photos...and field trips to find them!  This sounds like a wonderful club, I'd be there if I were closer.

What a fun contest! I have always enjoyed photography, but lately I'm feeling a deeper desire to capture my world on film. I need to look for a club like this in my area.

BTW...Avery is doing much better. She is resting more and in much less pain. I KNOW that God has heard the prayers of His children. GBU, my precious sister!

I like the Dragonfly....and that someone tied with themself, now that's classic ;)  Photography can be so rewarding....and can meet many different needs at the same time.  I was just finihing a picture of a Dragonfly and came searching for others, that's how I found you :)  Photo Clubs are great.
