Fiona Friday - New lens fun (cats and flowers!)

I got a new lens, this week! While it's mostly for travel, I discovered that the new lens makes capturing both cats at once easy . . . if they're not moving, that is.

Fiona looks completely freaked out. She probably was. I had the camera no more than a foot away from her face.

Chris of Stuff as Dreams are Made On mentioned missing the nature photos I used to post regularly, so I'm tossing in a couple flower photos, today. These are for you, my dear Chris! But, the rest of y'all can enjoy them, too.



Those are all from my yard and I'll toss more into future posts. Happy Friday!

    1. Thanks, Zibilee! Some of the flowers posed very nicely for me. The cats . . . well. You know how that goes. They have their days. :)

    1. Yes, things are blooming way early, here. I've even seen some wisteria and irises. That means we're at least a month ahead of normal.

      The cats forgive you for talking about flowers, first. ;)

  4. Wow, that lens looks like it can do some fun stuff. The pictures are great. I, of course, like the kitty one. ;)

    1. It's a cool lens -- a fish-eye, so it's wider than a wide-angle. It'll be super for scenery (hence the "vacation" remark). Thanks! I'm rather fond of a kitty pic, myself. LOL

    1. Hey Chris! I'm glad you got a smile out of those flowers! I have a lot of fun taking pics outside. The pollen is killing me but I can't stay indoors while the temp is pleasant, you know? Fiona's eyes are definitely freaky in that one. LOL Izzy looks very serene, though.

      You're welcome! Thinking of you constantly. Love you bunches!

  6. I am not sure we have any flowers outside here yet. Probably not for a while...

    1. Well, you are in Canada, after all. :) We're way ahead of schedule, here, having already broken a few heat records for spring. The early heat doesn't bode well for summer. I have a feeling this is going to be a rough one.

  7. She does look freaked out! Lovely pictures, though!
