Going Solo

For the ::September Scavenger Hunt:: monthly Challenge
Sept 6. road/path/trail or flag(s)

It’s been pretty much non stop rain for over 120 hours, which does make it rather
“interesting” for trying to take photographs
We had a quiet spot a few minutes ago, just long enough for me to get the camera out
but not long enough for the shutter to be pressed without getting wet :(

So I took this anyway, using the garage security lights for illumination
(even at 10:30am, it was still sufficiently dark this morning for them to be activated)


other sizes: small medium original auto

Yup, a dismal weekend on the weather front! This leaf cheers things up with its bright colour though :)

Yes, the first signs of autumn. I try to ignore them, though they are wonderful.

The Jonathan Livingston of leaves.
Steve Morris06-Sep-2008 10:49
Ha! That's a stunning shot Ian, love the yellow of the lonely leaf- but the story behind it is not quite as poetic as the photo!BV
