The previous test had included a "catch with chopstix" back onto the launch pad.&lt;br /&gt;

Every night the Fiesta had a fireworks show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was taken with the Nikon D700, trying to get the exposure just right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is some "night" shot for the Sunday Challenge. Without the fireworks, the photo would probably be all black...&lt;br /&gt;

Our botany season has come to an end and so our main Naturalist had a group of us visit his amazing garden and a walk to look at wild and garden plants in his neighbourhood.  Not the greatest weather, but at least the rain kept away.  I think rain is in the forecast for the next week, which is a pity, as the fall leaves will all be on the ground before we know it.  Mixed precipitation tonight.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always enjoy seeing Globe Thistles, though the Reader Rock Garden is where I usually see them.  These tall plants are popular with bees and butterflies.  This species beongs to the Sunflower family, Asteraceae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The plants are native to Asia and Europe and the name means hedgehog in Greek, which is appropriately referencing the prickly blooms."&lt;/div&gt;</description>

Miles&lt;/a&gt; has posted:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="preview"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/33646419"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/141/64/19/33646419.5e0c13e6.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="179" alt=""/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="description"&gt;The Abbey of St. Jean des Vignes was founded by Hughes Le Blanc for a community of Augustinian Canons in 1076. The Romanesque structures of the early years got replaced by buildings erected in Gothic style from the 13th century on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Hundred Year´s War, the abbey got heavily fortified. The town was looted and burned down by the troops of Charles VI of France (aka "Charles the Mad") in 1415. About a century later the town suffered severely, when it was under siege of the armees during the Wars of Religion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prussian troops conquered Soisson in 1814. The Franco-Prussian War (1870/71) creating a lot of damage, shell fire in WWI destroyed again most of the Soissons. The towers of the Abbey were not hit at that time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the French Revolution the nave of the church was used as a quarry. Most of the other buildings of the former convent got converted into barracks. An explosion inside the ammunition dump in 1815 destroyed most of the church. Thousands of soldiers lived in the barracks for some decades - and they had the time to cover all the walls around with numerous graffiti.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
