Come with me on a nature walk to observe the beauty of birds and wildlife in the DMV area. We do not need to go far to witness and connect with the wild.
A nature walk and watercolor painting experience for kids.
Bring your little ones into one of Northern Virginia's most beautiful well-kept gardens for a morning of wonder. We'll take an easy 30-minute walk through lush flower beds alive with butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds and pausing to look closely, ask questions, and notice the tiny world buzzing around us.
Then we'll settle in for a 30-minute watercolor painting session led by Chandni Sahni owner and water color artist of Shes Artsy Studio, where kids will paint what they saw a butterfly or a hummingbird.
No experience needed. Just curiosity, comfortable shoes, bug spray and a love of living beings.

Step away from the screens and discover the magic hiding right in our own backyards! Join Wyld Reflections aka. me for a free, family-friendly "Birding 101" nature walk through the beautiful wetlands of Huntley Meadows. This flat, stroller-friendly boardwalk trail is the perfect place for young curious minds to explore and reflect as this local treasure has so much to see.
As a wildlife photographer, I will be sharing birding for beginners such how to use binoculars. Kids are highly encouraged to bring their own little cameras, binoculars, or even just a cardboard tube "spyglass" to join in the fun.
This walk is completely free, but space is limited to ensure everyone gets a chance to see the birds without scaring them away. Please register below to secure your fam.
