New Toy

My birthday was yesterday. The new lens that I ordered came in yesterday (along with a few other random packages) too!

Happy Mailday!

The new lens is the Tokina 11-16 F2.8.

I wasn’t sure about buying a brand other than Nikon/Nikkor but the reviews seemed good enough. Its everything I wanted just without the name so I gave it a shot.

I can get my house in one picture! What!

Im in love. I haven’t had a chance to play with it much today. I carried my camera around in my bag with me but didn’t pull it out as much as I would have liked to.

Oh, I’m trying out using bigger pictures in my posts. How does it look? It’s ok on this end. Any crazy overlapping or not-fitting for anyone else?

Today after L headed to school Timmy and I got ready for our busy day. First stop – picking up friends to go to our last day of bowling league.

I took zero bowling pictures. Loser. Then it was rush to eat and get Layla so we could all hit up the Dr for sports/preschool physicals.  Again,  no pictures. Timmy was a beast. The last thing on my mind (shocking!) was to pull out a camera.

I did promise him though that as soon as we left the clinic we would go find a swing. He saw some at the school while picking Layla up and went nuts. I had to get that boy a swing.

And of course once we go to the playground he was over the whole swing idea. There was a ring-a-round!

I’m itching to try for some decent landscapes. Tomorrow should actually be warmish! Maybe we will get outside again.
