Winter Fun Fun And More Fun, Canon Lens Lots Of Fun

Creation of the snow was such a blessing for children. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoy watching Matthew playing in the snow. This little busy bee enjoys himself to the fullest - making snowman, throwing snowballs, making giant snowballs, making snow angles, removing snow, cleaning cars with the broom, mowing snow (yes just like cutting grass) and tobogganing.

Its been snowing here on and off. Last couple of days snowed but guaranteed that this snow will be gone by next week - warmer temperatures are in the forecast. Just a repeat of the last week.

Well Matthew is not the only one having fun. I finally decided on the new lens but came out from the store with two lenses, and I am very happy camper with empty pockets. I am glad that I fixed my Canon 20D because I don't have to do lot of lens switching. It gets heavy to carry both, but I don't mind at all. Canon 20D is past few generations but it is still a good camera.

Since I am Canon shooter, I decided to stick with Canon lenses. I bet you are curious and already know that one of them must be a macro lens, and it is - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. I also treated myself with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. Both are excellent lenses. I have not been able to use the macro lens as I cannot find anything tiny small (may be microscopic) to photograph, meaning small creatures (probably hibernating at this moment), however, this lens is great for portraits.

The photos below of Matthew are using macro lens.
