This was a really neat scene to be able to witness. At one point there were twelve, but of my pics this was the best one. If someone could let me know who was doing the partying I would appreciate it, thanks.

Must be party time!
I got a very similar shot of Pearl Crescents last weekend in NE Ohio!

No Other Photos
No other photos are needed, as far as I'm concerned. Those are Pearl Crescents. And what a great shot of their gathering! If I bring some chips, can I come to the party?
