As Seen On A Tree

I usually see the "helicopters" on the ground. These were holding on tight throughout the stormy weather of the past few days.
Great close-up shot

Good capture of these.

Nice, they look like little bats sleeping.

I like the way the light makes the leaves glow.

Oh! This image reminds me that I need to go check on the maple tree's progression and see if the new year's helicopters have grown any. It's been so cool, there's really not much growth going on for anything right now. Lovely image you created here. I especially like the way the stems of the seeds look. The light and shadows on them are very interesting.

@lyndemc Thanks! I hope your tree has some growth soon.

These are just hanging around, nice close-up capture. I'm sure they will drop sometime.

Haven't seen some of these in a long time, nice shot!

Beautiful focus
April 30th, 2014  
Brilliant capture....they are hanging strong still!

They do look to be both hanging on for dear life and also utterly exhausted. Awesome.
April 30th, 2014  
they really do cool capture
April 30th, 2014  
Wonderful!

Awesome! I spent all last spring trying to envision how to capture a shot of one in air before deciding it really wouldn't work, as they are so tiny and quick!

@archaeofrog Catching one on the way down would be very cool, and yes, quite difficult! I do love to toss them into the air!

@kbird61 Thanks so much, Kay!

Love the way the light catches them. Hope you also survived the stormy weather intact.
