Scrapbooking in Bakersfield, California
by Audrey Okaneko
Creating scrapbooks of where we live and where we visit are very popular themes for today's scrapbooks.
Bakersfield, with a population of over 240,000, has many photo opportunities available. The California Living Museum has more than 200 species of native California reptiles, birds, amphibians and mammals. Their gardens are designed to attract both butterflies and hummingbirds.
The Kern County Museum is on 16 acres and has over 50 exhibits depicting life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Kid City is one of their exhibits, which features the basics of any town; a library, a doctor's office, a bank, a restaurant and more. Kids can play and learn about the different careers offered in most communities. Another exhibit, called The Black Gold: The Oil Experience is a 9600 square foot exhibit which shows the history of oil.
As you travel through Bakersfield, should you need additional scrapbook supplies, be sure to stop by Stampin and Scrappin or The Scrapyard. You can load up on albums and papers at both locations.
Are you a Buck Owens Fan? You might want to stop by the Crystal Palace Museum, which features memorabilia from over the years such as guitars, suits, album covers and more.
Just 20 miles southwest of Bakersfield, you can enjoy Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area, with water skiing, jet skiing, sailing and picnicking. I love photos that include the water.
If you want to try rafting, Kern River Tours offers experiences for people of all ages and all skill levels. Grab your camera and book a one hour rafting tour.
One final suggestion is Tule Elk State Park, 20 miles west of Bakersfield. They have a 956-acre grassland reserve which is the home of California's rare Tule Elk.
If you are looking for additional photos to fill your album, stop by the scrapbook stores of Bakersfield and ask for a few recommendations.
