Last day at the riding school. Really proud the girls made it through the whole week. Very long days, they were very exhausted. But they are happy and want to go back as soon as possible. ๐ In other news: The package I was talking about the other day? It arrived, and I shot the above image with it. (Press M to see the meta data. ๐) Very excited to put this camera through its paces for the next couple of weeks before I have to send it back.
Don't step on that Sidewinder!
From a desert hike in April 2021. The temperatures were too cool for this Colorado Desert Sidewinder to care much about our presence. Due to its incredible camouflage, we only noticed it at the very last moment!

I am so glad my regular daily commute does not involve a car. One week of driving to Mรผlheim and back twice a day is enough for another year at least! (Photo taken on the Autobahn while patiently waiting during a traffic jam at 9 am. ๐)

#Photoblog Some early Autumn pics from a couple of weeks ago It was grey around the village. But some of the leaves in the park were popping.

Second day at riding school. The girls had fun despite the atrocious weather. Caught this guy while waiting for them to finish up for the day. He was wary of the rain, too.

First images with the new lens. Had a couple of minutes to take some pictures, when we picked up the girls from the riding school. (They were really exhausted after a long day. I hope they want to return tomorrow, because it is all paid in advance โ and not cheap, to say the least. ๐ค)

New lens, who dis? Welcome to the family! Got the XF 23mm F/2.8 R WR ahead of its release date in December as an open box deal and I will put it through its paces over the next couple of weeks. I love the 27mm pancake for its size, not so much its focal length. This 35mm (in full frame terms) is what I am most comfortable shooting with, so the combination of size, weight and focal length make this new 23 pretty ideal for everyday carry in my book. I'll keep you updated. Finishing the thought about my 25th high school reunion from yesterday: Like the last time we met four years ago (not five due to COVID), I did not take any images! ๐ I am just too absorbed in conversations and don't want to break the flow, if that makes sense. We took a couple of selfies with our phones though, but those are not for sharing. ๐
