oh sweet lens of mine

Swoon, I'm in love...with the lens of my dreams! Yup, you know that 70-200mm I've been harping on about for some time? Well it's mine, ALL MINE! Call it a very early birthday gift (or an extra extra early Christmas gift) if you will.

So I guess I'm out of the photography funk. A new lens will do that.

And yes, that last photo IS blurry. But I love it anyway.

Our day started with a morning walk. Harry and Till thought it was a little chilly. I couldn't say...I was too busy seeing the world at 135mm, f stop2.8.  LOVE I tell you!!!

It's been a while, yes? My heart just isn't into blogging these days - I'm in a bit of a photography funk too. There are just too many other concerns jostling about in my head...even though I do try and file them in the 'it's out of my control' compartment.

But I had some special time with my girl today and even have a few photos to share. The pair of us packed a picnic and headed for Two Chimneys Reserve - Till chose the location because it's a good spot for bike riding. I was happy to oblige as I love watching the white terns that soar above the pines there.

It's true being outdoors is good for the soul! I'd forgotten how lovely this part of the island is. The grass was lush and soft, the sun warm and the breeze perfectly light. A large black butterfly fluttered very close to Matilda's face which was quite special to witness! 

I'm looking forward to the school holidays and more time in nature. How about you?
