Description: We tend to think about vacations and travel as a reason to break out the cameras.  However, we can get amazing pictures right around the corner from where we live.  A walk in the park can reveal plants, trees, birds, squirrels and other elements that make for a great photograph.  The more we visit and photograph these local spots, the richer the possibility of capturing life during each of the four seasons.  Using the state of Michigan as both my muse and my subject, I will share some of my favorite locations for photography and day trips.  A local spot for photography is fantastic because you can capture at different times of the day or during different seasons.  

Key Takeaways:

1. Learning about locations where you can visit more frequently that are wonderful for photography in Michigan.

2. Planning day trips across the state or even in your own county.

3. Sharing and using those pictures with others both in and out of the state.

4. Learning about any admission fees or photographic policies in advance at locations such as parks and museums.

5. Where are some great places to get great shots of squirrels (and who would not want that)!
