Why I’m Going to Spend Money

This photo. It is all this photo’s fault!

As you know, I love and adore taking photos of the birds out my window. (isn’t this one cute on that old log?)

But with my longest lens, the 70-200mm, I still don’t feel like I get quite close enough.

So I’m thinking of getting a teleconverter fro the lens…so it will be closer to a 300mm lens. I know SuperGuy just loves it when I come up with yet another piece of photography equipment that I need. But won’t you enjoy closeups of the birds at the feeder this winter if I get the tele-converter? I mean, I’m doing it for you guys, right?

Aren’t These Fun?

He bought them on clearance, which is good because they won’t last long once the weather figures out that is really is autumn!

But they are a nice splash of color in the backyard. Added bonus? The silly dumb dumb groundhog doesn’t like to eat them!

Unexpected Gifts

Did you ever get an unexpected gift…for no reason?

pomar-junction-wine-8937My photography buddy, Janet Power sent me this wonderful bottle of Pomar Junction wine…just because. :love: I met her online a couple of years ago, and in person at photography workshop I went to this summer. We just kind of clicked. Don’t tell SuperGuy, but we’re plotting another meetup in San Antonio this winter at another photography conference. :dance:

Isn’t the label on this wine great? Loved the wine. Even shared it with my sister and brother-in-law owners of the best wine shop in St. Louis Wines of Wildwood. They really liked it too.

Anyway, I really, really loved the wine, Janet! Thank you so much! Even better, the unexpectedness of it.

Well, of course we finished it off! It was wonderful! Have you ever gotten an unexpected gift that just made you smile and was so you and made you know that someone really got you? :love:
