Mono Monday

Finally...some sunshine and clear skies.  My wife has been in Ohio where the temperature was 9 degrees F...as a high!  

Received my 50 - 200 Fuji lens today, and it is quite heavy, even for my X-Pro 1 body.  I need to practice with this lens before our trip to Africa.  Did I say we were going to Africa?  I promised my wife that I would make the 20 hour flight, this in spite of my 'hatred' for airline travel, but how else are you going to get there!  I hate snakes...
