Portrait of a Bald Eagle by Jan Williams
Ann Posiviata
Spring in Arizona brings a myriad of opportunities to take pictures. The flowers coming in bloom; the hiking trails full of people; music, food and beverage festivals; and spring training for the Cactus League. The Sun Lakes Camera Club is a great place to learn photography with resources to workshops and events by world-renowned teachers. If you have just moved to our Grand Canyon State or are a seasoned resident, our club is a fabulous way to get active and engage in the beauty of our state and the world. Spring is more than just a season; it’s an opportunity that can offer so much more. So, what are you waiting for? Come capture your version.
Featured Image: Jan Williams has been a member for over five years. She started out with an interest in photography and a desire to learn. Her Portrait of a Bald Eagle has put her experience to the test, and she received a second place in open digital at our most recent club competition.
