Dirty Girls do Long Island...

...and no, this is not porn!!
For my 5000th post I am posting this image of Emily, Grace, Melissa and Gail( me) from our recent weekend in LI.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate my milestone than sharing this pic with all of you. It really symbolizes all that is good about BPN ie. the friendships made and the learning and sharing of information.
Thanks to all of you who have taught me so much. Hard to believe I bought my first digital camera in 2009 and this is where I am now- $30,000 poorer with lots of travel miles under my belt and worth every penny!!

Dirty indeed! Great shot. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Who had the biggest one?? :D

[Daniel Cadieux]

Awesome group portrait...and with the after-shoot wet and dirty clothes I feel that I could fit in just fine with the group!! Congrats on 5000 posts Gail...

Now that looks like you all had way too much fun and I AM JEALOUS. Glad to see friends getting together doing what they love and you all look great!

[Melissa Groo]

We had just spent a wonderful hour with a few Yellow-Crowned Night Herons.. it was worth all the muck! Thanks for posting Gail. And congrats on your 5000th! You have contributed so much to this BPN community. And hey--if you ever get tired of that 600mm/1DX rig, I can help take it off your hands....

What a morning! Ted always calls me the dirtiest kid in the sandbox but these gals aren't afraid to get down and dirty either. Lots of fun, and the filth was worth it. Gail, congrats on 5000. What a milestone in just a few short years.

I'm a little late seeing this, but had to comment. What a great looking group of mudhens. It's good to see the faces behind the images. Congrats on 5000, Gail, and thanks for all of your contributions to the forum. Your comments have always seemed spot-on, and most helpful.
