One beady little eye

Today after a very amusing lunch with a friend where I can never look at a ripe mango the same way again I wandered in to town and in a second hand shop caught sight of a beautiful shiny new lens just winking at me in the window and calling my name, buy me it whispered, buy me!!
After a quick call to the ever obliging husband and an excited bounce around the shop I had in my hands one gorgeous new lens and hurried home cradlng it with more care than I do my children ;-) I spent the afternoon stalking animals around the garden and zooming in on the hill in the distance, eliciting little gasps of amazement as it came in to focus through the lens,I am easily pleased :D So todays blip is bought to you courtesy of a curious chicken and a more excited than she should be woman with a fabulous new lens!
