I'm not a big Winter fan. I guess as a kid our clothes were never warm enough (even though England rarely goes below 0C) and I was always miserable.
I always planned to emigrate to Australia where I perceived it was much warmer but ended up here in Canada instead (ooops!). So after spending 8 wet years in Vancouver we moved to Kelowna which was much colder, although not as damp! One of my first purchases was a snowsuit and boots. These have worked well during the last 7 years (when I could fit into them between pregnancies) and I have to say, it makes *all* the difference.
So this morning I donned the snowsuit (which is now two sizes too big) and went out with the kids into the back yard and park behind our house. I took the camera, got a few pics of the kids and some macros. There's no sign of life outside but I liked the color contrast of this red plant against the grey rock and white snow.
For Sale: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di XR LD IF aspherical macro lens (this is one that Karen Russell recommends if you can't get the Nikon version, it's got great reviews)
Purchased new in April 2009 (6 yr warranty). Comes with both caps, hood, box, receipt. Great all around lens. Perfect for New Years, family shots, indoor shots, etc.
I'm parting with my Tamron lens. I'll be upgrading. There's nothing wrong with the lens, it's one of those "it's not you, it's me" situations.
Asking $375 but I will entertain all reasonable offers. Retails for $529
