Hahaha! my break from the site didn't last very long. I think the problem is that I don't have much time for commenting on blips at the moment and I feel guilty when I don't. I'm going to try and catch up over the next week.
This was taken with my new lens - I've seen a similar shot somewhere else and I've been wanting to try something like it for a while.

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather today :)
