oooh there are some better ones of this scene coming. i was focusing on the wrong place here, but the motion blur was so spectacular i had to edit and post. H was a good model, nd really enjoyed getting as close as possible. They are attracted to the artesian springs gushing 15 gallons a minute, with a little leak to the side for them. Thank you so much!!
