Drat: should have been in Dogs thread
Never mind, these are autumn pups after all : )

Nice carpets, and swirlies and the bird balancer, and pleased to see the walnut tree keeps on keeping on by the riverside.
I tried to photograph this rather delicious cat today, he just moved too much – however, like the way the red carpet makes him float…..

the sky looked like that in Chchch (well almost)
or Lake Taupo on a clear night….
Back to poppies, stars in their own right

Must say, bigger stars are easier to catch….. with a fully automated point and shake camera..

The problem I have with exposures of more than a few seconds at night is that I get star trails.
Yup and with my super-basic number I can get star blobs, but not a whole sky-full like that!

This amazing shot taken by Yufeng Hou
Whoa! If only the naked city eye could see like that!

I'm with you too Leigh - just shy about making anything but simple, flippant statements about pictures!
In the last six months three large trees have been removed from nearby gardens. My first sadness is for the trees and all the parts of the local environment they are supporting. Then there is the selfish sadness, my lush green view has become open and bare.
Like Chris I feel overwhelmed by the bigger issue, and for me that comes down to the collective forgetting that we rely on the health and well-being of the natural environment for our own health, well-being and survival. It's sad to think that it so often takes disaster for people to make significant changes.
It would all seem completely depressing if all change relied on government etc. Every individual effort shines brightly - and I see hope for change in the younger generation - nieces and nephews still coming through school have been terrified by learning about environmental destruction, pollution and plastic wrap. It doesn't seem to stop them owning plastic cased electronic devices.... but some of them at least are studying environmental topics at uni.

flowering cherries?
Oh, and yes, they are flowering cherries - they looked a bit different when I photographed them at night, with flash and high dynamic setting last autumn....

groups of wet, near-naked togged and toweled young people making their way back from their first-day-of-winter swims!
Rather them than me even with this mild autumn : )
