Blowing in the wind WC

While photographing gold finches coming to a series of small puddles I noticed these leaves blowing in the wind. I would liked to have taken this from a lower pov, but was using my van as a blind and did not want to get out. Please look at the larger image.

You can definitely tell that these leaves are tumbling despite the high viewpoint, John. The presence of wind is clear. Nice action capture!

Fine idea, John, and a good catch on the moving leaves. One more way to "catch the wind".
