Closeup, blurry because the wind is mean.

It took a lot of the leaves off, too, so I couldn't get more pictures. Bah.

Maple leaves do have nice colours.

Speak of childhood memories!!!

Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.

Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.

They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.

The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.

The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding and treasuring your 'best' ones!

Used the ring flash on this.

Now, DO NOT rush out to get one of those!

It is not a priority, has quite 'limited' usage, is particular and specific and not the easiest to use!

I use it together with other sources of lighting, but that's my game, my challenge (obsession?) literally PLAYING and PAINTING with light.

Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)
