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.
hey guys- I'm about to leave but I'll post this real quick. The desert botanical gardens is having their butterfly exhibit right now thru mid May. A perfect outing. we should plan something before it gets too hot! :0)

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. >_<

Guess where I got this?
There are a handful of us in the phoenix area, keep your eyes open here as we post outings everyonce an awhile.
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
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.
right next to the zoo- know where it is? In Papago Park (off McDowell, west of 68th Street.)
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.
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 think this is a great idea!
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!
They are temperature sensitive, the warmer it is the more active they are and therefore the harder to photograph. Under those conditions what I do to is slip them one of my date rape drugs.... works every time!
NOTE:
If anyone going to the gardens needs a ticket please let me know...
I found both of mine and they need to be used before the end of May.
