Happy 4th! Eat, drink, and be merry - but stay safe!

THis was taken a couple years ago at Sanibel in Florida and posted, and I'm digging it up again now. Just a fun image! Not manipulated in any way - these 3 were fishing next to each other just as shown.

Nice one, Sandy. This would work for Canada Day too (July 1).....but you would have to crop out the blue one.......
Happy Fourth everyone!

Very cool Sandy! I thought for sure when I looked at the photo, that it had to be a composite.
Great find!
