Wonderful. Most have been awfully tricky to capture.

Nice shot! Few things in nature have the motion of the maple seed falling.

Thanks for the comment Greg. I found out that the spin is not centered around the heavy end, as my eye sees it, but a little toward the blade so that it also "wobbles or oscillates" as it is spinning. This makes it difficult to show the spin motion and still keep a part of the seed in perfect focus. Gota love a challenge.
