A group of little birds attended Camp Wapameo on the shores of beautiful Echo Lake in Rhode Island (thanks bettyann) over the July 4th holiday. The weather was disappointing and I suffered unimaginable insults from insects ( and vice versa I suppose), got poison ivy, accidentally rolled in goose poop repeatedly and had a fabulous time. You can see some of the highlights below (click the pictures for a larger view). The campers are ( from left to right): rex, finn, minter, liney, ashley, jane, betsy, flora, and georgie.

Hi Ann,

I popped over to say that I think you MUST sell these photos as a card set, and see that Melissa beat me to it. They make me smile–especially the marshmallow one.
These birds are off-the-hook. i like the sexy french campers.
These pictures are too much!
Brilliant work Ann, love it 🙂
Ann, count me in for the next bird camp!! hehe, full of fun!! You could print those photos as postcards!!
These pictures are so delightful! You must have had so much fun sending your “peeps” to camp. Thanks for sharing.
