Rutland Meet Up - Jelly Belly Roulette, and a plan. In theory

[Fangman]

This was the greeting that a certain Penguin got when arriving at Rutland Water . . .

Seen without and egg between her feet!

Tangerini

Our Arabian Knight

Must be "Pro's" by the gear . . . just to make us mortals jealous!

Beer running out! You must be joking! We met at a brewery . . . eventually as Penguin Time decided to stop!

 

[Fangman]

How does that smell to you? Hertz showing the finer points of exposure.

Linconshire and Oregon get together

That way to the Antartic

Those bears had to gatecrash the picnic!

Diverted from Oxford going North

 

[Fangman]

That "I'd rather be back in Florida" look!

Serious business - beer!

Fancy liking enpty glasses!

The gathering

Is that a Penguin I see?

James Bond over to check on Hertz

The Police did eventually let Anti to get her Toffee Delight.

Yay! At last!
The Meet-Up Thread is up .... you DID take your time.
Thanks Fangman for starting it. Now at long last I've got the thread to sticky that I had wanted to sticky since Saturday!

 

[Fangman]

How could I refuse you?

It was great meeting all the folks before I fall off my perch - they all seemed so young. They missed having you organising them, but a wonderful time was spent picnicing on the banks of Rutland Water, being dazzled by the sunlight off Tangerini's smile.

Chatting up the natives!

Full Steam Ahead.

Not quite Artic, but an Islandic escaping poppy being attacked.

They did what???
I much doubt THAT!

I begin to miss seeing your photos, not the ones you took (I'm very happy that you're showing so many here!), but those that others took of you! (Before you "fall off your perch" ... ).

Oh, and by the way: I think you got "our Arabian Knight" and Tony (tempra) mixed up in one of your captions in the first post...

Well spotted - Corinna

Our Oxford scholar

Wow, cool, nice to see some photos from the meetup Looks like they had nice weather as well (which is quite something, considering this is England we are talking about )

Yes, we saw the English summer through from start to finish - it was on a Sunday this year...

 

[NoteGraphics]

Well, if that was summer it was a good way to spend it! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone!

...

Is that an albino penguin?

 

[Antarctican]

Yes, giving the Penguin Queen the traditional salute. :er:

 

[Fangman]

The two butt salute making a change from the ususal two digits . . . Possibly Albino Mute Penguins swanning around in British waterways.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

On the Banks of Rutland Water...



...with apologies to Henri Cartier-Bresson
