Samantha,
I live in the Phoenix area - west valley. My three daughters are always asking if they can go out with me. I too would like to get together with a group of photographers and find some great areas to shoot.

*big gasp* Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I wanna go!!

I'm already signed up for it, any day, any time. Just say the word and I'm there. I just...don't know where the desert botanical gardens is, and if our car will make it there. >_<

Oh, and to Jim--I would love to take photos with you and your kids sometime. How old are your daughters? Are they camera shy? :P

There are a handful of us in the phoenix area, keep your eyes open here as we post outings everyonce an awhile.

Well, why not an outing sometime soon? I'm impatient!

No, that's not the reason. The reason is that I'm anxious to get out and find new places to shoot...my apartment complex is getting old.

Samantha, my girls are 13, 11 and 9 and they love to take pictures and are quite photogenic too. I will check out the dates for the botanical gardens - that would be sweet.

I don't know if our car should go that far...I wonder if anyone could carpool me or something? Our car is a 94, and is completely shot, the transmission is going out on it.

Samantha, I could be. My kids will be at church, but I could make it down there afterwards - mid afternoon-ish. I ask them and let you know.

Anyone else interested? This place looks sweet - //www.dbg.org/

I'm up for going out there on Sunday afternoon. I'm sure I'll see you there, and not recognize a one of you.

Yeah...I think I can only go if I can get a ride. My mom is handicapped and wouldn't be able to come with us, she'd have to sit in the car the whole time. She doesn't think our car should drive there, and back, and there again.

I have one or two free passes I can share with someone and I can take one person in with me on membership card. I don't know about the free passes, but on the membership card you get passes to the butterfly pavillion. If anyone on a free pass had to pay I think the buterfly passes are $1 or so.

Btw... belated congratulations on the good score for this image! Great picture. I didn't even kow you had anything in. Heck, if I had known, my vote might have boasted your score all the way to 6.2. LOL!

We should all choose a time and a place to meet. And wear nametags or something.

Exnay on the nametags, by the way. Just kidding. I hate nametags.
