Are y'all sure you didn't go to a church service on Sand Mountain over there in 'Bama?

Cool pix, wish I coulda been there.

Rebel - I've heard bout them thar Snake services ove at Sand Mountain, but I ain't never seen em!

Was a really great and informative show...I had actually seen a water snake the day before on the shore of Lake Allatoona so I was very glad to find out it was NOT poisonous.

I finnaly got around to uploading some of the shots PidyPat and I took that day as well..

Our First meeting, and it won't be our last!

I just wish I had picked up 2 of the 24 packs of water for the cooler! I'll make sure to have more for the Sept. meeting.

Just out of curiousity, any particular reason yall ddon't upload those to the cache page?

Again, just curiousity is all.. I don't take that many pics at all myself, so I don't have a chair to sit in.

Ummmm I"m pleading ignorance on that one Cymbaline... Didn't know I "should" post them to the page. Will do that for future meetings. Thanks!

Two reasons for me -

1) They get re-sized down if they are over a certian size. So, they can turn out grainy or you have to chop a lot out of them. I take them at a much higher resolution. I feel bad cutting them down to 800/600 for the page I put up on my website. (BTW - if anyone wants a high-res version, email me for a copy)

2) Linking to them from here on the GGA forums, it's mainly going to be those of us that were there that see them. I know I'm not big on having my picture posted out there for the world to see (personal self-image issue ). So, I don't want to do it to anyone else, without their permision. Especially as people have their kids there, and you wind up getting the little ones in the shots. Some people can be really defensive about having pictures of their kids posted on a very public place like the cache log page. (what with all the perv's out there! )

Now, if there were an offical "Group Photo" - then I would feel better about posting it up there.

Hmm.. never thought about that, but I suppose it makes sense. Especially the cropping bit - that always has annoyed me.
