We've got our 5 year-old grandson with us for the holidays, and this was his first and last chance to take a trip on our local steam train before it goes in to the workshop for a few years of reconditioning and rebuilding. The line runs from Waipara to Waikari through the Weka Pass, and is entirely run by volunteers and enthusiasts. He loved it (and so did the grown ups)...

Beautiful shots Gareth. The first is definitely my favourite. Our son loves steam trains too :)

Thanks! There's something about steam trains - all the working bits on the outside, puffing and hissing like they're alive - that you just don't get with other means of propulsion.

Absolutely awesome image!!!
 
Soft focus and a relaxed cat! On reflection, I'm not that happy with all the noise in the shadows, but I really didn't want to take the shutter speed down any slower and it wasn't heaps brightly lit. Oh well, next time!

Oxalis, or Shamrock is quite a jubilant pot plant. In the evening, it folds the leaves in and lays them low. In the morning, they are all open and the flowers shoot in many directions. I took these yesterday with my R7 and the kit lens, RF-S 18-150. I shot hand-held.
