Through the lens, we learn to be present.
Snapshot Safari
Embark on a 2026 adventure through Miami County’s parks with our Snapshot Safari Challenge on OuterSpatial! Each month, visit a featured park and complete a photo mission inspired by what’s happening in nature that season — from spring wildflowers and summer pollinators to autumn colors and winter ice.
Whether you’re snapping a quick shot or crafting an artistic masterpiece, your photos will help you slow down, look closer, and discover the wild wonders all around you.
Complete the challenge and earn a Snapshot Safari magnet — a fun keepsake to remember your adventure through the seasons!
