VIVID – WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE
This worked out well, today’s challenge. I have two new lenses. One is a 60 mm macro and the other, a 45-150 zoom. Since Sunday, the weather was cold and rainy, more like late autumn than summer or spring.
Yesterday, the clouds cleared. The rain stopped, and the sun peeked out. The rain did the world good. Today, with the sun fully out, everything is bright, glowing. I went outside and took some pictures.

It is fun. And I’m very happy with both lenses. I’ve had the macro for a couple of weeks, but didn’t get a chance to use it until today. The other one came yesterday. Finally, a moderate long zoom I like. It’s been a long wait!

You feature such really great photos and I would not really notice which lenses are used, but good to know about the macro and other one used. All in good hands, Marilyn!

Thank you. I can get much closer with the macro than I’ve ever been able to do with any other lens. Kind of neat and fun 🙂 Everyone talks about their cameras … but no camera is better than the lens you are shooting through, so I worry more about the quality of the glass than the bells and whistles on the camera. And that is also why I don’t really consider a cell phone as a valid camera substitute. But that’s just me.

Absolutely. I use the cell camera only when necessary – which is very rare.

I think I used mine once and it was two phones ago. I’m not sure how this new one works, but I carry a camera everywhere I go, so I’ll probably never find out 🙂
