Thank you Cynthia, Lindley, Steve and Dianna!!! Your comments are all appreciated so very much!!!

Steve...It is very hard to get close to these guys...I had to slowly inch my way to the point where I could get a decent shot.

Thank you for the Southern hospitality D!!! The little cove he was in has beautiful clear water that allows for great shots. #4958561
