Between now and Tuesday, June 29 – take photos of animals and insects that you might see in your own backyard – cicadas, squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, inch worms, butterflies, fawn, etc…

Tuesday, June 29 by midnight, upload a maximum of 3 images.

Thursday, July 1, 6:30 to 7:30 DEBRIEF SESSION Online
