i love new camera lenses!

For my birthday Benny bought me two camera lenses, a 28-80mm and a fish eye. He always knows just what to get me. I've known for a long time that i wanted a new lens, but had no idea what lenses did what. Benny asked me what i wanted it to do and did all the research to figure out what lenses would suit me best. Isn't he just the greatest!

Ive been playing with the 28-80mm all week and a package slip for the fish eye arrived in the post this morning. Me and the boys i look after, excitedly wandered to the post office (me, excited because of my package slip, them because they knew id take them to 'pay gwound' afterwards)

Once id picked up my new favourite toy we all headed to the playground for a play


This is the main reason i wanted these lenses, to be able to take pictures inside. The 50mm (very zoomed in lens) that i had just didn't cut it!
I've wanted photos of my home, as i know we wont be here for too long (saving to buy a house) and want to have photos of mine and Benny's first home together as i know they will be special to look back at. Just like i love looking back at my old bedroom.
This is my kitchen/dining room area
