2006 Summer Picnic
This was the big summer event - the picnic at Fred's amazing home.  Lots of birds to view, some seminars, lots of swimming and volleyball - and of course the big raffle at the end of the day.  Everyone had a terrific time.

The pictures were absolutely incredible! I have enjoyed sending every one I know to the site to see what it is that has me so captivated! I thoroughly enjoy the people that I am slowly getting to know. Fred's generousity at the last two events is something rare and greatly appreciated! My children love coming to the summer picnic. Please send me all the prints you can spare or tell me how. Thanks, Rob
