A Little Later in the Season...

For the most part, these shots were taken along the same trail(s) as the earlier LGNC set ... the LNE and the Prairie Grass Loop, this time without the D&L and with the Chestnut Oak trail.

We also had first-time hiker and mountaineer Mr. B along with us... so we fell behind the group quite a lot, and most of the shots were taken one handed while trying to hang on to a four year old with the other... =)

--but the focus in #8 is a strip of the seedheads just shy of their "horizon".--

That's actually what I was saying. I can tell that's what you were going for, but the thing that separates the shot from pure awesomeness is that the focus isn't crisp enough.

The shot itself, however, rocks.

Thanks! You really do have some excellent stuff!
