The swan plant seeds are floating around at the moment and I thought I would have a go at capturing some in mid flight. After a few false starts and blurs and photos of just the sky, I managed to get this one against the sun.

wow, that's amazing, and even more impressive when I scrolled up to cut out the sun.
Well done, that's first prize for the month

That's a great shot HGee,
here's a puzzle for you, this is how some school teachers thought about us when they parked their cars at shine falls.! ! !, some hopes for the kids.
I did manage to get out, but it was touch and go, or about a two hour wait for them to return, i was a little bit crossmrgreen
Cheers

where's all the photos folks? Love looking at them all.
lensman, I was looking at that photo and still cant work out how you managed to get out of that one, how rude. Seems like a ditch next to your car, hope you left a note on the offending car.

Hi KattyPats, yes , it took a lot of to an d fro, there was a ditch, took several goes, with wife keeping an eye on the rear of the car!!!
You can be sure that a note was left to remind schoolteachers that they were setting an example to 40 pupils that day.Don't do as I do, do as I say,
Cheers.
I agree, where have all the pictures gone? Have we all run out of steam?
Lets see some pics of Autumn colours on here folks
Cheers

A good subject Lensman...Lets have some autumn magic. Well done to you for getting out of that parking predicament. What a pain.
Here are a few autumn photos to get the ball rolling. I took these around Nelson in the last two weeks.
