Ambassadors Work Shrimp Fest, Tour Zoo


The Outdoor Family ambassadors have been out and active. Last week they worked the 39th Annual Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores. Besides handing out flyers and explaining the Outdoor Family mission, they helped all the children to make thumbprint art and bracelets made from recycled telephone wire.

This week the ambassadors toured the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo with photographer Sam, who gave some brief instruction before starting out. The aperture, he said, (of a camera) is like the pupil of your eye: it controls how much light gets in. Shutter speed is like opening your eyes quickly, then closing them again. How long were your eyes open? How quickly did you close them?


Looking at the camera.

Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! The ambassadors saw all three!





















A hungry pelican? Swan lake?
