My telephoto lens (a favorite) broke and it took me a little while to get a new one...they are not cheap. All I had was a zoom lens so it was hard to take close up pictures with it. I read about lenses (and took the advise of a photographer who's blog I follow and can rely on) and since the telephoto lenses are quite expensive I went with a fixed lens, which happened to be on sale at Best Buy and I had Reward dollars, so between both I couldn't pass up the deal, plus Rob gave me some money for my birthday for the lens. I am still getting use to the lens and haven't taken a lot of pictures with it yet.
As I was going back I realized that I have yet to post our family vacation pics from last year and Christmas. That's as far back as I see that I've missed. Since I haven't gotten all my vacation pics edited, I will post the Christmas ones first and go from there. For those of you that read this blog, if you are not up to seeing Christmas photos in May, (I can't blame you) then you can skip ahead in a couple of weeks. I must post the pictures for memory sake though, so bear with me.
And because I can't post without a picture, this is Alyssa's Lacrosse team from last year.
