2016 05 01 Chicago 365 meetup

A wonderful first day starting with the L Train tour which was really interesting. Then on to the Butterfly House - magical, and finally the Lincoln Conservatory - full off fabulous plants.

We finished the day with dinner at Taffy's house. How lovely it has been to meet up with my virtual 365 friends and now they are real friends. A wonderful evening with great food and even better company!!

A lovely capture of you all, have fun :)

A truly international 365 meet up as I recognise some of those faces from London meets. How cool to get to actually meet other 365'ers from around the world.

Wow, what a great get together. You are so lucky.

So excellent to see you all gathered together! And nice to see faces to the names too.

Sounds like a great day and evening and getting too meet all, so nice to put faces to the names.

[Taffy]

Haha-- so glad you posted this -- great memory shot, but of course, I'm obsessed with the wall hanging being caught on the dried flowers!

[Louise & Ken]

@darylo @jamibann Pretty wonderful, isn't it?!!! It's been the most delightful and absolutely perfect gathering! SO MUCH FUN, to be exact, I haven't had the time to post any of my (ahem..) "thousands" of photos! It'll be old news by the time I get them up! BUT, Pam, clearly you got the best shot of the lot! Love this one! and @taffy, I was laughing out loud! Never saw that one! (until now!)
