... but I think you get the general idea. They were active, I was alone, one was with children while the other will be soon. They were not pissy or snappy -- just SASSY!!! I'm sure they are no worse for wear. My third girl, who is close to dropping her clutch was having none of it -- I left her alone! I tried some natural light and some flash. They do look more striking in person. I will get some better shots after they lay.

They all have the same odd neck break, high yellow sides and THAT BELLY!!!! It runs almost the entire length of their body. It is very concentrated. Their eyes are greenish-yellow. They are DIFFERENT looking!!! As per my post below (you might want to read it), these are c.h. girls and are not proven Black Bellies -- yet.

When I was taking my shots you can almost see the Yellow Jacket/Bumble Jacket screaming to come out. I can only wait and hope. I am going to try and post pics in groups of three. I have never done mult. pics before. If I have to post six -- sorry in advance. Enjoy the pics. I'll keep everyone abreast of the outcome either way.
