We had a very good turnout at the C-K Parrot Club in Blenheim. There were 13 members taking pictures. The parrots looked like they enjoyed the attention and were not bothered by the strong light of the flash. A meeting with members of the Parrot Club to view the exposures will be held Saturday, June 9th, at 11am at the Chrysler dealership in Chatham.

Just a reminder to all about the C-K Parrot Owners Club shoot at St. Mary’s Church in Blenheim on Monday evening May 21st at 7:00 PM. See You There.

Highlighting a Club Members Photo of Merit, this new page will tell the story of our Club and the memorable Photos that are part of our Club History. We hope you enjoy it! Congratulations to Les McCracken for his premier position to the photo in focus page.

Congratulations to Richard Armstrong for his award winning “Zebra Caterpillar” shot that was entered in the Canadian Association of Photographic Arts National Competition in the “Nature” Category. Richard was presented his Ribbon and Congratulations letter at last nights General Meeting.

Award winning Photos by Nelson Harrison and Glen Spooner, who received their awards earlier in the year are also on display. Have a Look under the “Photo Awards” tab.

Congratulations to all!

Thanks to all the members that participated in our season opener, with the “Wildflower Shoot” at Sinclair’s Bush and follow-up at McGuigans Greenhouses near Blenheim Ontario this morning! We had about a 400% increase in attendance over last years outing with about 12 to 15 participants. Although we were seeing just the beginning of the Wildflowers there were many opportunities to get shots of the early “Red Trilliums”. The White Trilliums should be out in a few days if the weather stays warm.
My thanks to Rob McGuigan and staff of McGuigan Greenhouses, on Hwy 3 west of Blenheim for allowing us to come and take shots of the many beautiful flowers on display. Thanks Rob!

At this Tuesdays meeting we will be reviewing our scores in the latest round of CAPA competition. We will be announcing and presenting one of our members with a winning Ribbon! Drop back on Wednesday to see the winning entry!

Please be patient as we grow and add content to our new site. We have lots to show and talk about, so check back periodically. Thanks!
