I promised myself, when I started this blog, that I would post something at least once a week. And already I have failed. Boo Cass! BOO! Oh well, better late than never. My excuse, by the way, is that I’ve been traveling a lot for work and that we’ve had my parents to stay meaning that the computer room became their bedroom and out-of-bounds for a while. But my absence has given me time to play with my luuurvely new lens. I have taken a gazillion pictures of nothing (and when I say nothing, we’re talking bog-roll holders, floor-boards and, if I was feeling a little adventurous, the corner of our microwave) but I have also taken a few pretty pictures of some old shells and pebbles I had collected for Amélie and, last weekend, I even managed to take her (the lens) out for a walk. My did I feel grand with such a fancy piece of bling hanging round my neck! And oh wow! She takes the most gorgeous pictures! I’m still trying to get used to how close everything looks compared to my old 30mm lens so I keep on chopping off heads willy-nilly but still… I am in LOVE.
This, for your information, is Amélie trying to get Hanno to carry her. We dispensed with her buggy quite some time ago because it was such a pain on the cobbles around here (not to mention trying to get on and off the old trams!) but she has replaced wheels with an uncanny ability to climb up people and attach herself barnacle-style to their sides… At this rate, we’ll still be carrying her when she’s 21. I’ll have her in my arms while Han struggles to balance her boyfriend on his shoulders. It could happen!
Oh, and here she is again with some leaves.
Next up: some pictures of the Brussels Winter Wonderland (Christmas market). It opened tonight and I was out there with my camera like a shot. Let’s see if I can post something before the weekend is up… You are allowed to tickle me if I fail.
