I’m completely enamoured of my new lens. To celebrate, some random photos! Mostly flowers, because, well, they make awesome subjects. I really need to practice with some yarn though!

Some new plain ribbed socks out of Regia Cotton on the go:
And my favourite of the day, a dandelion – the prettiest annoying weed there is.

P.S. In case you missed it in the last post, the lens I got is a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5!
I must get one. Good shots. very nice pics.
Nice photos! Incredibly pretty flowers! What a gift from nature!
Love your flower pictures. I read a fact yesterday that a dandelion has over 100 seeds in each of those lovely puffballs! That’s a lot of dandelions! :)
Oooo – gorgeous photos! Note to self. . . get a macro lens. . . someday?
Gorgeous pictures. Also, now inspired to make a giant granny square afghan. Talk about an easy stashbusting, TV watching/book reading project.
But my question is: what’s the plant with pink flowers and red leaves. That’s just gorgeous.
Stunning! Simply Stunning!
Very nice pics.
Love your flower pictures.
I don’t think you could have gotten a better lens. What kind of camera do you have? I want one of those lenses for my Canon.
Beautiful shots! I so want a macro lens for my camera… (grin)
absolutely lovely shots!
Amazing photos. It’s probably wrong of me, but as soon as you mentioned the need to practice on some yarn I was, “yeah, and excuse to buy more yarn!”
Umm, yes, yarn shopping is habit forming.
Very nice! I’m in the market for a new lens for my Nikon as well. Great shots!
Simply stunning photos!
your pictures are fantastic.
I just broke my 50mm1:1.8, I miss it terribly.
Even though I’m horribly allergic to dandelion fluff, that picture is gorgeous!
I love the forget- me- not shot.
They are the most romantic flower….
That is one magic lens – not to mention the talented eyes behind it. I look forward to lots of awesome yarn photos in the future – although I would not say no to more flowers either. Looking at the flowers, I feel like I am there.
Oh, and the new cardigan looks pretty awesome as well. I need to make myself a sweater soon – this one will go on my list!
Love the sweet baby redbud leaves. So fresh and new. Work that camera!

I was blown away by the quals photos in your later posts & now see why! Soooo gorgeous! I esp. love the leaves here.
i own several Canon L Lenses and they have the best quality. even better than Nikon.,**
Hello. Excellent job you done here dude. I didn’t imagine this. It’s a great story. Thanking you!
