Photo Walk Update

Hello Photo Walkers,

I went out to check on the blossoms yesterday, this is a photograph that I took of a pear tree bud.  Looks like the cooler than normal March has delayed the blossoms a little.  The weather is looking really nice for Sunday, even if the blossoms don’t appear for us there is still a lot of interesting things to photograph in the area including the old train station, buildings, flowers and of course Mount Hood.

See you soon,

Michael

PHOTOWALK with Michael Peterson Photography

Sunday April 15, 2012 at 4:30PM, meet at Solera Brewery 4945 Baseline Drive Parkdale, Oregon

What is a photo walk?  It’s simply  a social event where photographers of every skill level meet, photograph and have fun.

We will begin at the new Solera Brewery located in the middle of the historic town of Parkdale.  This little town is surrounded by pear orchards that should  be in full bloom, it’s also a stop for the tourist train Mount Hood Express.

At 6:30 we will return to Solera and look at some of your favorite images together.

Solera has great food and drink that can be purchased at the event.

Bring a friend, your camera and lets go photowalking!

Please RSVP to Michael at 541-399-2259 or info@michaelpetersonphotography.com so we can tell Solera how many extra guests to expect.
