new lens !

A rotten, mucky, wet and windy day.

I finished most of the shopping this morning, went to a Christmas lunch, ran a few other errands, and got home in the dark to find my new lens had arrived ! A Nikon Nikkor 6omm macro, my Christmas and birthday present to myself. I spent the next couple of hours with a bowl of garlic (the only thing to hand) trying it out on these tiny bulbils, and getting the hang of the very fine focussing. Thrilled to bits with it. 

Into wind-down time now. Pretty much everything is done and the girl arrives in the morning.
