The pens were taken with the gator skull and HIDE, (not a towel) and our camera will not take any better pictures. The closer, the blurrier. The other pics were taken by our neighbor who is a professional photographer, just in her yard the other night while we were showing her our pens. If anyone is interested in donating a better camera than our cheap digital, please let me know. Our phone camera is worse than that!! I really do appreciate all the comments, bad and good. That is the only way to learn. Thanks!
