SCHEDULE

The day often begins at the barnyard capturing the light and action of the morning wrangle or an early walk to photograph the morning sunrise over the Altar Valley. Enjoy horseback riding, hiking, birdwatching and relaxation with your camera in hand as much or little as you choose. Late afternoon and after dinner workshop presentations are scattered through the week, ending with a group slide show Saturday evening.
