Exploring my new lens' capabilities

Getting a new lens means playing with it to see how it works, so I just went exploring around my house with two of my kids. It was fun to take a slow pace and follow whatever caught my eye or the eye of my son. He insisted I take certain images. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Also, to see what the lens could truly do I chose not to edit them in any way. They are SOOC (straight out of the camera) .

* I've decided to not water mark any of these. Please do not use any of my images without contacting me first for permission.

 He wanted to show me his wet foot after splashing in a puddle but he couldn't hold still so the lens focused on his eye - I love it.

 I've always loved tiny footprints left by wet feet.

My middle girl was very willing to pose for me scraggly, unbrushed, Saturday hair and all =)

 And my first love - Nature
