TPF Canada Meet Up

[AIRIC]

The first Southern Ontario TPF meet up has now concluded. We all arrived at 8am to nice sunshine that only lasted an hour or so before it turned to overcast. We had a great time talking and shooting while strolling through the Conservation area. We are sorry to say Jen was not able to make it as we all looked forward to meeting her.

An early morning shot of your Canadian TPFers: Raymond Barlow and Daisey, Chiller, AIRIC (me) and Canoncan.

I guess I should have been shooting the same as everyone else but this is for the girls of TPF.

Daisy having fun feeding the birds.

Carl having fun with a squirrel. This is the same squirrel that tried to climb up Peter’s 400mm when he bent down. It was pretty funny.

Hmmm, I wonder what Raymond is doing? Looking at a duck I guess

After lunch Raymond and Daisey returned for more shooting while the rest of us went home. It was a great time and we will make plans to do it again in Raymond’s territory sometime soon.

These are wonderful! Everyone looks great, and what a lovely area to shoot in. I can't believe how tame those critters are.

Can't wait to see everyone else's shots, as well!

Thanks for being so (how to put this) considerate with your documentation of the event. :lmao:

Great series, Eric!!!

 

[Canoncan]

Hey who's the guy in the light hat? Thanks for putting my a** in the pictures. I am still trying to recover from being attacked by a neurotic squirrel.

 

[JonK]

Looks like a blast...sorry i missed it...those few thousand km's between us are a killer. Maybe next time.

Yes, as terri is saying, heehee, thanks for being so ... erm ... considerate :mrgreen:
Great meeting you had there, like Jon I wish those couple of thousands of kilometres between you and me (and the negligible bit of water... erm...) could have just disappeared... it would have been fun to be with you.

And wild animals that are so tame... I mean.
I have NEVER seen that before!
More piccies, more piccies, more piccies! (How could Peter forget to photograph the group! :shock: ) :roll: Ts!

 

[Raymond J Barlow]
