New lens again

People I like are digging this picture so I'll use it for the daily photo too.

I talked about my new lens in the post below so I won't go on about it again, except to say that this is the first shot I took with it, right out of the box in the car just minutes after I bought it.

Yes, my mother constantly had to say, "Wait 'til we get home. You'll lose pieces of it and you are not getting another one."

Never learned. No impulse control. 

These are the Mardi Gras beads on my rearview mirror, backlit through the windshield by a Starbucks or a Chico's, not sure which. Probably not a fair trade photo.

I've finally figured out, if photography isn't fun, I'm doing it wrong.
