Red

I got a 50/1.4 Canon autofocus lens for Christmas. Though I prefer the feel of old manual lenses, but for following kids and cats around auto is the way to go. I also have a nice 28-135 auto zoom lens, but the 50/1.4 lets me get a lot of shots without using an obnoxious flash.

Kitties of Williamsburg

We went to Williamsburg after Christmas. We’ve gone once before, so maybe it’s a tradition? These kitties were hanging out near the visitor center – looked like they were waiting for their regular feeding.

Backlit maple leaves

More maple leaves! These are from last month – they’ve all since fallen to the ground. I am way too lazy to rake them up, but when dad came to visit he raked them to the curb and the vacuum shredder truck took them away to become compost.

Orange maple leaves

More leaves! I think I waited too long for the Japanese maple leaves in the yard, but maybe I’ll take a couple of shots of them on the ground before raking them up.

Fungus tower

Oliver and I found this small fungus-covered stump in Rock Creek Park while off-roading in our sweet new big-wheel stroller.
