For us on the northern half of our world it's mostly a dreary time in which we spend many hours looking at the images taken earlier this year, so here is one from the archives...
The late spider orchid is a rare orchid for Germany, currently it is deemed not to exist in NRW (the county where I live) but just south of the border there is a nature reserve near the small town of Gönnersdorf where in June there were 150 flowering plants...
Canon 40D, Tokina 100mm f/2.8 @ f/11, 1/25th, Bilora ring flash (hand held from the side as fill flash -1EV), Berlebach mini tripod, slight crop (< 10%).
