I just got a new lens from Amazon today. I'm in the middle of drowning from work but I had to take a few shots with it. And I even broke my normal routine and posted shots to Flickr on the same day I made them... crazy!

This is the worst possible day for a new zoom lens (Canon EF-S 18-200mm). We've had thunder storms all day and I've been swamped (er.... ha ha) at work. But some of these came out OK, especially since I wasn't really trying to do anything but play with zooming.

I am in love with palm trees! (As long as I never have to prune one again, as long as I live!)

Yes, this scene is in Portland. Yes, it was taken on January 11th. No, nothing was doctored or photoshopped, nor are these potted palms. Chinese windmill palms (Trachycarpus fortunei) are native to China and grow well in temperate Marine climates like we have in coastal Cascadia.

The tall palm at this house in SE is possibly the tallest growing in town and has been featured on many Palm Tree Rides.

Those palmtrees have amazingly bright colors and a joy to play with focus!

Yep, Portland gets a "winter", and today it only got up to 46F/8C. But we also have palm trees, too. Chinese Windmill Palms, to be exact.
