Isn't She Lovely

: Isn't She Lovely; Well, I got some new gear. I took the plastic and treated myself for living to be 50. I was feeling a bit guilty about it, but time heals all wounds :-) (evil grin). Here is one of my first shots with the 30d and 70x200. It is just a little sparrow, but I like the pose she gave me. Thanks for looking, Don; Created by: Donwrob.; Tools Used: 30d - 70x200 - Arcsoft; Created on: November 2006; Image Views: 208; Average Views per Day: 0.3; Image Number: 32067

Hey Don, Great photo! You have turned a plain bird into a plain pretty bird.. Somehow I missed this photo and your Birthday :-o Happy Un-Birthday Today! Hey enjoy your new toy, I'm working on my better half on getting a Bigger zoom lens. My 75-300mm is nice but I need more, I hit the end of the zoom all the time chasing the critters LOL.. I think a 40-1000mm would work :-)

Just saw your last comment, Don :) Know what you mean, it is exciting. Toni won't mind, especially when she sees what utter pleasure and happiness this new equipment will give you. She'll be happy too, just as Madeson is happy for me.

what a pretty pose, Don! And am echoing the same about your new equipment. Don't feel guilty, we deserve it! Just treated myself to the 70-200 also, a couple days ago :)

Thanks guys, I am enjoying it something fierce. Like a kid at x-mas. I just came in from working on the grass for the last time this year. I have to butter Toni up a little :-), or I'd be shooting away. Thanks again, Don

Nice shot. Can see you are enjoying your new toy. I wouldn't feel too guilty about it. Most good hobbies cost an arm and a leg.
