Fun, isn't it! Two things will improve your capture rate. 1.) Use a tripod. 2.) Rock in or out while shooting a sequence. This will help deal with both body movement and wind.
A lot of times I will put the tripod on two legs and rock in and out to smooth my motion flow. This stops the side to side movement that one gets from a monopod.
Henry and Mike, thanks for the advices.
Here is one of mine. This may not be in the same league as the others but, is very meaningful. The photo of the wild rose was taken last summer on my Grand-Parents property. My Grandpa and Grandma both passed away last year. Sad, all the property is now for sale but, this photo will last forever. Hope you enjoy. FYI, I didn't take a tripod and this was only a quick snapshot.

Not a dandelion, It's a yellow hawkweed. However a most exquisite shot!
Thanks, Rodyon. The yellow hawkweed has a very close resemblance to the dandelion.

very nice shots, Henry. How are you guys holding up there? I understand the East Coast is experiencing some heavy snow storms. Take care, guys. Be safe.

It's not that bad in in-land areas but people around here tend to freak as soon as they see white stuff falling from the skies. The big problem is that most people don't know how to drive in snow and think that owning a 4-wheel drive SUV means they don't have to be careful and believe that it allows them to drive on ice.
The big problem is actually on the shore areas where high winds and ice have knocked out a lot of power. Some places have been out for seven days now and its been consistently cold. Here are a few off topic shots from yesterday after the latest snow. It was quite sunny but the winds were blowing snow all over the place.
