Blast off!

The Husband and Son One have been bulding rockets and firing them in the garden. They're powered by the little carbon dioxide cylinders that you'd ordinarily put in soda syphons (the rockets, not the boys ;-)).

Last week I sat for hours in the garden trying to get the perfect shot of a launch. I didn't. Even in continuous shoot mode - I have a shot of a rocket attached to the launch tower, and the next is an empty launch tower with no sign a rocket had ever been there. Yep, the launch happened in the nanosecond between shutter clicks :-/

Today - this is the very first shot I took. "You HAVE to blip that Mummy!" said Son One. And I always do as I'm told.
