Summer on its way out

That's what I thought when I saw this bright, sunny little flower with its back towards me.

Taken with the K20D and the 55-300 last weekend.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The way you've framed the flower against the background makes this shot - well selected Lidy.

I don't think we ever had summer here in Manchester! Nice shot though.

There's not been much of a summer here in the Netherlands either, at least not in my bit of it.

Nice shot Lidy. I love the colours, and your choice of the back of the flower. Yes very nice.

Oh stop moaning about Summner, Autumn is on its way and think of the photographic opportunities

Nice pic though, great abstract background.

getting off topic here, sorry Lidy,
Autumn has arrived here. Yes lots of photographic opportunities in autumn I agree, but a few more in the summer would have been nice .

Now lets hope the K-5 really is available in October so I can take advantage of the autumn opportunities, before I hibernate.

Never mind about the off topic, Gwyn, and you're right - a few more summery scenes to catch would have been soooo nice! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the/your K-5 (although I've heard it won't be available here till November ).

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Sorry! Autumn colours are fine, but after last year's I'd prefer to skip winter for a while!

That's it, won't moan anymore - not for a few days anyway.

That doesn't surprise me, We always seem last to get new models from Pentax.

Maybe I'll put a deposit down with SRS in the hope they get them on time .
