I am going to head out the door in about 30 minutes. I was actually up early and ready to roll. But I am waiting on the wife and kids to get dressed and ready. my youngest daughter woke me up at 5 minutes to 6 and asked if it was time to go to the zoo yet. lol

I am sorry I didn't make it back there tonight. I was planning on it all day. I got a bit of sunburn this afternoon and it took its toll on me. I laid down to take a cat nap and ended up sleeping nearly 4 hours. By the time I woke up it was already dark outside so I figured it was a little late to get back to Madison and make it worth while. I hope you guys all had a blast.

As always I enjoyed hanging with you guys today and will be looking forward to the next GTG. Hopefully some more of you will be able to make it.

Well...I had actually decided to come with the kids and was going to send a PM requesting all the directions. When I found out Tess, my Goldendoodle, had eaten a roll dental floss! Not the container...just the floss itself. Well, that is a very serious situation...the thread can act as a knife and cut through her intestines, as it does not brake down in the system. Luckily, after x-rays, it looks like the intestines are processing it ok and we have to keep a close eye on her as this "comes through". Any sign of illness and she will need surgery...which we cannot afford right now ($3K). Finger's crossed.

I hope you all had a wonderful day...it was beautiful out!! Looking forward to seeing the shots!!

We had a great time. In attendance were

smartypants

ironworker

bugzeye

kirbic

fsteddy

Elmakias

kkenison
Plus Carol S (neighbor), Strange's wife and a few of Smartypants' friends

We have a few awesome group shots (taken after iron and bugz had to depart our ranks - sorry guys. Elmakias doesn't want any of the group photos published yet because he's going to do some editing after his computer is back from the shop, and he doesn't want his thunder stolen. He promises to make us look like the cover of a Grunge band album. Here's an early outtake while Adam was getting his Bees set up:

I started to sort through all my pictures from Saturday lastnight. With them were about 120 shots from my kids school carnival that I took Thursday. Kind of delayed getting some pics posted here. Will try to get some on here tomorrow. Got a few cool shots at the Zoo, Nothing too special downtown but I'll post a couple anyway.

As promised.

I took a shot at the zoo that I like well enough that I'm going to toss it into the free study this month. It'll be only my second entry in 2008! (I'm so pathetic).

It was a really fun outing! I love the pictures Bugzeye and Adam have posted. Here's a link to some in my pbase gallery: //www.pbase.com/kkenison/dpc_5-24-2008
I've been using LucisArts and fractalius Photoshop plug-ins probably too much, but I'm not sick of them yet.

Thanks Kathrine, You got some nice shots while we were up on the deck of the capital. I should have did some lens changes and got some other view points.

I like the rock star photos too.
