So long February

Storm Clouds over the Pascagoula beach this afternoon. The dot there is a Gull flying in to shore.


Here it is the last day of February... these two months have gone by so fast.


This pass week was packed with a lot of different feeling for me. Last Sunday I ordered the lens I've been wanting for so long. Wednesday or Thursday morning Chip came in and told me that they had to put their little dog, Shelby, to sleep. Chip said she was 16 years old and just a day or so before Chip and I had gone out at lunch and he went by to let them out. She made me think of my little Maggie so much. She was old and feeble and couldn't hear. Then Chip told me about it, it sent a wave over me.... things like this just upset me.


With all that being said Lauren and Lane bought another little dog and gave him to Mary. They named him Cody. Even thro I said I didn't want anymore dogs... well I just had to give in. So for Lucy doesn't not like him.. I guess after Lucy lost Maggie she just doesn't want to get close to anyone else. I can understand it... Sometimes I think our pets have more going for them than we do ourselves. Think about it.... they love us with no questions..
Well it's been one of those days.. rain and ugly skies... and I so wanted to get out and try out my new lens. Well tomorrow is another day..

I bought it today


After months of looking and reading about the lens I ordered it today. I like to shoot birds and landscapes and from what I've read I'll be happy with it. I'm going to be shooting some sporting events also this spring so I'm really hoping some of that will help me offset some of the expense of the lens.. The lens is the CANON 100-400L. The L lens are the best Canon makes.
The kids told me if I wanted it to buy it.. and I've been hired on by a local to help shoot a couple of weddings with her so I got it.
