The Ties That Bind by Weezilou

The Ties That Bind

365 has once again brought some of its Southern California photographers together, and once again we had such a "rolicking good time"! Left is Anita @aglennc whose husband, John, with Ken, is not in the photo, and Ron @stray_shooter (rt) who you've come to know, I'm sure. Center is Maria Ostrowski @mariaostrowski who joined us for the first time, and she's just a delight! We loved taking our photos and looking over one another's shoulders as we went along. A group gathering of photographers assures that we'll eventually be in someone's pictures, so looking forward to seeing a nice compilation of them here!

I'll be posting these as I go through them. I'm only up to late morning with this photo and haven't yet seen them all, myself!
Such a treat to spend some time with other 365ers. Nice memory of your day out together.

Looks like a great 365 meet up! What fun! Lovely to see part of your group! Shame you Ken and John are not in the shot too!

@salza It was and it was!
@pamknowler I'd brought the tripod, but we never seemed to make a commitment to a group photo. We each have shots of smaller numbers of us. Means you have to see the others pictures to see us all, I suppose!

Oh, how fun. I would love to do one of these.

All sorts united by one interest that is so strong!

@homeschoolmom You got together for the first time "to say you did" and become wonderful friends! Wishing you the same!
@maggiemae Absolutely, Maggiemae! We're beginning to send each other photos now through email! I'm sure we took *at least* 3000 between us all!

So wonderful to think this site has created such good friendships :)

@gilbertwood It really has, Denise! Even before meeting, we're pretty sure we're going to like one another, and Ken and I haven't been disappointed yet! Fascinating folks gather here!

Great group shot
March 22nd, 2017  
Did you capture other pic.`s beside this lovely one?
March 22nd, 2017  
@pyrrhula Of the group? Yes, I know I have some more, and I know they got some, too, probably with Ken and me in them. I need to add links to their sites as we're sure to have many more photos show up!

@pyrrhula @Weezilou @pyrrhula @Weezilou Well, a slightly modified shot that shows all of the 365ers can be seen here: http://365project.org/stray_shooter/extras/2017-03-22 . We screwed up and forgot to take a legitimate group shot! Ooops!

How fabulous to have friends like this who share a common interest, or perhaps I should say 'passion'. Looks like a happy bunch of campers.
March 23rd, 2017  
Terrific group shot, Louise! :-)
March 23rd, 2017  
@Weezilou fun and casual..... What fun it is to get together!! .So glad we finally got to meet Maria. I took almost 300 shots. How about you!! ??
March 23rd, 2017  
Good to see old friends! I miss the outings with you guys and especially the lunches and brunches!
March 23rd, 2017  
@aglennc Over 800 for me Anita - but then again at high speed probably 600 of those were the cheetah alone! Lots of keepers in there though! Louise has us all beat - I think she got somewhere on the order of 7,000 or so.

@joysfocus You were missed at WAP Joy! The shoebills say hi!
March 23rd, 2017  
@aglennc Ron's @stray_shooter pretty close, Anita. But only because I'm not as good a photographer, and take my pictures on a wing and a prayer... @stray_shooter Who's this *WE* Indian? I tried to get this unwieldy group together on more than one occasion during the day!!!
@joysfocus I could have used your help, Joy!
March 23rd, 2017  
@joysfocus YOU are VERY missed!!! We must try to rectify that!
March 23rd, 2017  
@stray_shooter @Weezilou Thank you! Yeah I miss seeing those prehistoric Shoebills
March 23rd, 2017  
Looks like a fun time. Sounds like it, too. Your photo captures the feeling of communal engagement. I can't wait to join your folks sometime.
March 23rd, 2017  
How fantastic! Lovely capture of you all.
March 23rd, 2017  
How lucky you all are. Thanks for sharing pictures of your get-together.
