Then we will move to Elviras. https://www.elvirasrestaurant.com/ We have received approval to shoot the inside of Elvira’s (both restaurant & retail shop) from 11:00 to 12:15 PM. We will then take advantage of the Summer Lite Lunch specials that Elvira's is offering. Join us for a fun outing. There is always plenty to shoot in Tubac - and the August contest topic is Historical and November is Food.

The new Q3 2022 Member's Challenge topic is Nature. Nature includes everything from animals to plants, to trees and forests, mountains & valleys, weather, stars in the sky, etc. It is a perfect time of the year for that with Monsoon storms, cactus and other flowers in bloom, and the Milky Way in the best position for photography. Take a walk through Madera Canyon to see flowers and plants from the monsoon rains that only come out this time of year. I like a description I saw on the web: Nature photography focuses on capturing the natural elements of our world — plants, animals, and landscapes. Photos can capture wide views of far-reaching landscapes as well as small details of insects and plants. Send me up to 3 photos taken during the quarter. Remember, any post processing is allowed. If you add elements from another photo (like sky replacement) those elements must have been photographed by you within the quarter. See the pcqc.org website for a link to the detailed rules. So this is a great excuse to get out and shoot. Have fun & stay safe, Jim See this page for a description and rules. Topics for the next challenges are also listed here. Submit all photos to jimmsp AT outlook.com Q2 2022 Photo Challenge WinnersFirst Place : Monte Hudson “Blue Grosbeak” Second Place: Denny Huber ”Chevy” Third Place: Tom Reiman "Red Rose" The topic was Dominant Color.
