The lens is, finally, on its way from Tennessee to South Carolina for Tiller to take it on a walkabout.
I had fun; I wish I'd had more time to think up things to shoot with it, but in the end, I think I came up with some things that at least represent my little neck of the woods pretty well.
The day after I got the lens, we had our biggest snowfall in nearly two decades here (8.5 inches, a mere dusting to you hardy Northerners, but practically Armageddon for us!). That snow was COMPLETELY gone within 48 hours. By the time the lens left my hands, a week later, it was 70 degrees and beautiful sunshine.
By this Wednesday: A high of 34 and snow is forecast. Argghh. Stop it, Winter!! Just stop it!!
Anyway. I'll get to work processing photos and get them uploaded to Panoramio over the next couple of days. But I thought I'd share this one here. It's my favorite--a "selfie" of sorts, taken on a drive around Cades Cove on the first day that I was finally able to put the top down on the new convertible!
