Liquid sunshine and such fantastic images ... who needs blue and sunny skies? Congrats for some exceptional well-done shots and thanks for going out there in these kind of conditions so you could capture the Dragon Ladies...
Keep them coming - the Dragon Ladies and the pictures! Love to see more!
Cheers

All things considered, excellent images, can I ask, where were you when you took them, I see the fence but what part of the field are you at?
