Hi William, Super shots but I don't think those are the rejects, I think those are the dancing girls getting ready for the show to start.

Thanks Cinda, we saw them the other day and their colors are fading a little, but hopefully they'll be back during your next trip out.

Hi Mike, actually they are not. I believe Africa. Don't hold me to the exact truth, but I believe there are only 500 + or - in Los Angeles and Orange County, found around flood control basins and about 15 in Phoenix. If anyone knows differently, I'd be interested in hearing from them.
