Awesome!
Nice series!
Ha, I do the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one that looks like that at night ;) Wish I could find this beauty in my area! Someday...
Yes, this was after dark. I was working via headlamp.
Is it evening when they come out? If so, these pics are great!
Thanks. I just wish I had gotten a little more light on these. :-(
Wonderful!
