    If you love nature and photography then Cleveland Metroparks North Chagrin Photography Weekend, July 18 -20, at North Chagrin Nature Center in Willoughby Hills is for you. It's a great hands-on learning opportunity for novice and seasoned photographers featuring nature photography workshops, presentations, and walkabouts.



    The weekend kicks off on Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m. with
    Curious Critters: From Portraits to Picture Books, a fun-filled presentation by Sigma Pro photographer and writer David FitzSimmons. Learn how FitzSimmons turned his beautiful animal portraits into an award-winning children's picture book of beautiful and bizarre curious critters.



    On Saturday, July 19 adult and teen photographers of all skill levels are welcome to spend the day on a
    Photography Bus Tour with David FitzSimmons. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. shutterbugs will travel the east and south sides of the �Emerald Necklace� by bus with stops at scenic vistas to capture nature's beauty in photographs. Learn new techniques and how to use the latest equipment. Registration on or before July 15 and $65 fee are required. Lunch is included.



    Bring the whole family to the nature center on Sunday, July 20 from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. for
    Curious Critters and Kids. Join David FitzSimmons as he brings his Curious Critters picture books to life. Children will shriek like hawks, hop like toads and slither like snakes. FitzSimmons will also sign your copy of Curious Critters. Books will be available for purchase.  



    The Photography Weekend closes on Sunday with two opportunities to enjoy a
    Photography Walkabout. The morning session runs 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. followed by an afternoon session from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. Learn nature photography techniques from FitzSimmons and Dodd Camera professionals. Explore Squire's Castle or walk through A.B. Williams Memorial Woods. Each location is offered at each session. Registration on or before July 15 and $10 fee are required.



    North Chagrin Nature Center is located off Buttermilk Falls Parkway, off the Sunset Lane entrance of North Chagrin Reservation, off SOM Center Road/Route 91 in
    Willoughby Hills. For more information, call 440-473-3370.
