Dixiegirl Loc: Alabama gulf coast
 
From our little day trip across the bay to Weeks Bay Estuary and Splinter Hill Plant Bog. I included 1st pic because it was shot out the window of our car going 65mph on the bay way over Mobile Bay. The boat was about 200 yd away from the road. Not a sharp photo but it's a good example of what the Canon 100-400 lens can do under way less than ideal conditions :-)

Thanks very much, Brenda. I've never seen so many butterflies and bees in one little place.
