As a reward for working so dang hard, last week I ordered a brand new 50mm 1.4 lens.
I haven’t splurged on anything purely for myself in a long, long time.

It is the carrot I’m using to help coax myself to finish the season out strong. A reminder that the off season will come and in it I will have all the time in the world to learn new things, experiment and expand.

 So far, I am thrilled with how beautifully it captures the flowers.

Who knows, with this new and improved gear we may soon be catching little glimpses of  fairy’s curled up in the blooms.

    Are you a Canon, or a Nikon girl? Love my 50 mm lens, they are so versitile,

    Great shots, oh to have access to so many flowers, simply petal heaven.
