My new lens!

You would think that I would have been screaming about it on my blog a few weeks ago! I've only been whining and coveting one for months! So much has gone on since then that the I GOT A NEW LENS!!!!!!!!! post went on the back burner. But I've been putting it to good use as evidenced by all the pictures of late. It's a Tamron 18-250 and I am just tickled to have a wide angle, macro, and telephoto all in one! I've been having a smashing time playing with it. It's been a long time coming and I'm so grateful to finally be able to expand into a new realm.

Makes me think of diamond brooches.

Annuals that actually grew this summer!









I finally got some decent shots of Huz's new office with the wide angle. I wish the mountains were visible out the window. 'Twas a misty day.

    Thanks ladies! The balls are about the size of baseballs. They light up and slowly ease from one color the next. Huz brought them home from a business trip to Seattle. Each table at the banquet had a few placed on them as center pieces.
    Very groovy, baby!

    These are such beautiful photos! I'm sure the lens is wonderful, but it still takes someone with a good deal of talent, like you have, to take those shots.

    Nice! I want a lens so badly too. Got the new camera with just the basic lens in May and it has been such an adjustment since my old camera had a good zoom. Most of the time I'm hunched over something, dangling 3" away trying to get a nice micro shot! Har. That is very exciting - and the photos are great!
