WOW Peter!
That's one heck of a close-up, kind of looks like a water drop just front of the legs?
You don't carry a water bottle and spray your stunt pijuns down for effect do you
Impressive buttery smooth bokeh, crystal clear colours and top drawer IQ.
You've got one beautiful combo of Canon gears!
Technique ain't bad either
Thank you, Jim.....a good lens (on a decent camera) makes a big difference. However, once "Sandy" is done with us, there will not be much nice leafy bokeh to photograph around here, and my boys might leave for some warmer climes.
With the grid power going, I'll make this one quick. Lost one arm off a real nice oak, and the hemlocks are taking a beating. I recorded gusts over 50 MPH about the time these where taken...

Yes, I'm missing the Woodies in the local habitat here, and some of Peter's look so very familiar. Perhaps they'll return accompanied by their private hairdressers and groomers.

Edd......at least you were not under it.....this time. Please do not start clearing fallen trees tonite.
This storm is going to be a bit of a pain, even in southern Ontario by the lake winds are picking up......I guess no outdoor photography tomorrow either.

Totally devastated. The loss of power and damage to house will return and get fixed despite the large cost but the scenes above, first shot and many of the rest just destroyed by this awful storm. The most horrific winds I have ever experienced. Almost two hundred year old trees killed. One of the most beautiful spots, if not the most, I've ever seen every fall, killed. Devastated. Loved that view. There was nothing like it in the fall. These shots only show a bit of it and not the full effect where the sugar maples stuck out some giant thirty foot long branches and layers forming the most perfect brilliant arc of layered upon layer of color. My favorite spot, no matter what else they developed or destroyed there was always this wonderful spot.
If only the wind came for the normal direction it would have not smashed all the other special trees (or house). Damn east wind.
At least didn't smash through house or car with people as to a few others, very sad, terrible.
