Sorry for the absence, I have been having some problems putting images on the blog.  While I have not been posting, I got a new lens for my camera, a 70-300 zoom lens.  This has enabled me to get some more close up photos which is a nice change.  I would recommend this lens to all of you interested in photography.
Here are some of the photos that I took with the new lens.

 
     


One of the things that i like about this lens is that one can take photos of animals such as the fox, but not have to disturb them with being to close.
