Natures Train Crash
This was taken with a flash of course.. it was later on in the eve and I saw these two working there way to a crash.. So I popped up and hand held as close as I dared with time running out. Its kind of neat the background was almost black .. these fellows do have neat color dabs on em..

I can only dream of capturing something like this. Flowers give me enough trouble, let alone a (potentially) moving target such as these. Great job, Chuck.

Hope they both had insurance Chuck, its not cheap sorting out bodywork damage. Fabulous shot. Thanks for all your support too. ‘iRobin’ was recreated at the request of Robin Webster.
‘RW’ then bought the T-shirt. Many thanks for your business too. I’m a little busy with real time matters at the moment but I pop in now & again.
Very best wishes
