    Default Stuart and Gail meet in JoBurg.

    I think the best thing about BPN is the chance to make and meet new friends.
    Stuart and I got a chance to meet on my recent trip to South Africa and Botswana. We had dinner together on two occasions. The picture was taken by my hubby on his Blackberry so IQ not the best! (Of course, neither Stuart or I remembered to bring our own cameras!!)
    Stuart is as great a guy in real life as he is on BPN. His wife Colleen is a terrific person as well. She had great wine recommendations!!
    We had a lot of laughs and I hope Stuart and Colleen get to North America some day.
    As I write this, I am thinking about all the other BPN'ers I have been privileged to meet : Marina, Melissa, Randy, Daniel, Artie, Denise, Peter Kes, James Shadle etc. What a great time to be into bird photography,
    Gail

    It was great meeting you and Elwood too, and yes the wine was good on both occassions.

    I think 'our' only regret was that we didnt get to go out shooting together. Allow for more spare days next time.

    I am so glad to see you guys together...Bird photography and BPN has brought us all together from every corner of the world and I was lucky to have met few. I would also like to meet BPN'ers all over the world.

    Cheers to both of you!

    Thanks for sharing Gail. Looks like you had a lot of fun.

    If you(or any other BPNer reading this) ever come down south here to Dallas, let me know.

    Super! Yes, the global village has shrunk with travelling, the internet, and sites like BPN. Always fun to meet people we previously only know from online!
