'Summertime Teasel'

My 5th Backdated Blip.

Sounds like an old jazz ballad, doesn't it?

August, was, I now recall, after looking through my pics, a wash-out, so nothing new, then.

Always liked this subtle study, taken early morning near me, by the River Avon. Used the fast telezoom Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, which has an advantage over its much more expensive Nikkor cousin in that focusses nice and close (1m) giving about 1:3 ratio - handy!
