It's been too long since I shared some of our activities with you, so shame on me!  The summer has been very full and busy, and Amanda and I have been on the road for various purposes.  I'll give you a quick update of where we've been and what we are planning, and will try to get back in the groove of providing some regular blog entries soon!
 

This weekend, we will be returning to the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park for our FIFTH photo workshop there!  We are excited to see some "friends of long acquaintance" and get back to once of the most attractive state parks I've ever seen.  Our good friend Trinity Shepherd, Park Naturalist, will be joining us again, and intends to keep his 100% "Elk Sighting" record intact.  In addition to the Elk tour activity,  we will be adding some ideas to the weekend, as well as returning to a few favorite spots.
 

This week, we just opened registration for our Savannah & Tybee Island Winter Photo Workshop in Georgia, scheduled for January 14-17, 2016.  This will be limited to only 15 Workshoppers, and our early discounted registration is only $445.00, if you book before December 14, 2015.  So, plan your own Christmas present, and join us in the "Hostess City of the South" while the snow falls in the north!
 

In the spring, we will be visiting the Hocking Hills area of Ohio.  There are actually multiple Ohio State Parks which make up this unique geography, which contains several waterfalls, rock and cave formations, Logan Lake and beautiful scenic views.  We'll be setting the dates for this Workshop right away, as soon as we return from Kentucky.
 

Amanda and I have been scouting for new locations, and reviewing some of our past Excursions.  We have tentative plans for new workshops into 2018, and will be sharing some of these in our upcoming newsletter!  This is something we've also been working on, and when you receive it, we hope you will find it interesting and informative.  To be included in our newsletter mailing list, just go to our Contact page, and send us an email, with "Newsletter" as your message. 
 

As a hint, we're looking at a return to West Virginia very soon, with other visits planned for Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and more!  I'm using Amanda's "Gear & Clothing List," and getting packed for our Jenny Wiley Workshop.  If you're joining us, we'll see you there!  If not, we hope to see you at one of our upcoming Excursions soon!  Do you want to improve your photography?  Let us take you there!
