Hi, Everyone! :) Sorry I haven't been around, but life has been keeping me really busy. Gigi and Steve are doing great (and yes, I need to update their pictures as well).
Rob gave me a lens for a birthday present and I haven't had much time to try it out. We went to the cottage this past weekend and I spent a bit of time testing it. I still need practice, since the lens is a lot heavier than I'm used to and it pics up hand shake like crazy! So, I will definately use a tripod next time.
Here are some test pics in the field......
Love this bumblebee. It reminds me of a little elephant. :)

It then flew off, probably scared to death that I (or the camera) would eat it! Love its dangling legs! ;)

It was so hard to get the focus right on this pic. Each time I focussed it would fly away.

This one is slightly better, but then the pic was overexposed. Like I said, I still need practice! :)

And, a feline pic! Here's a close up of Gigi's whiskers....

Thanks for taking a look!
