Today at Oak Springs 4-H turned out to be the last day we were able to meet before COVID-19 changed our lives significantly.  Luckily, we were able to make the most of our last day.  We found a cool pinwheel by the school where I taught the kids about shutter speed.  We then returned to the secret house in the woods where we happened to meet the person who built it!  It was very cool and he explained to us how he made it and why he made it.  He also welcomed the kids to come visit it any time, provided an adult is present to keep them safe.  The kids also got a chance to climb up into the house itself to get photos from inside.  Well, here is the last batch of photos for probably a while:

It was an exciting day at Oak Springs 4-H as we went to take photos out in the garden and then we took an unexplored path and found the coolest thing yet - a secret house in the woods!  The kids were of course very excited and we got plenty of pictures.

Travis and Bastrop County Photography Workshop (Online) Tuesday, 4/21 at 3 PM

I will be conducting another Travis County Photography Workshop via Zoom next Tuesday, April 21, at 3 PM.  This will be a different lesson than the previous one, so if you attended another one there will be new material.  However, I'll also be discussing some of the same topics covered last time, but with a different lesson plan.  If you are interested, please email me at Nathan.Tucker@agnet.tamu.edu and I'll email you the link next Monday.  I would recommend bringing some photos you have taken so we can review and discuss them.

Now I'll be going through all the photos from Oak Springs 4-H taken so far in 2020 and posting some select highlights to my blog starting with February 7, where we took a nice photo tour outside the school and had some fun along the way:
