For some years there's been a frog dieoff here in New England, but they're making a comeback, and our pond, for a few years nearly silent, is becoming audible again.  When a frog smiles at you it's hard not to smile back.

Going for asparagus

Beautiful capture Fons. They are magnificent but not often seen this close in this way.
Did it sit there whilst you took aim through a car window?

Colin this must be a young buzzard i may have approached even closer, i am amazed by the 105mm Z lens here, again a crop i may add Asperges means the vegetable asparagus for which it is the season right now.

With the heat comes the very harsh light typical of the south of Spain.

My wife getting ready to go shopping. 

This was just an experiment in how well I could manually focus an ƒ/0.95 lens on a camera that is difficult for me to use in manual focus mode.  It worked okay I decided, given my poor vision and the razor thin DOF.  I think I shot 7 frames with this one being the best. 

Fuji X-Pro1 with 7Artisans 35mm ƒ/0.95 lens.  The lens is fun to use but also frustrating.

I have similar experience with the TTArtisan 90mm f/1.25
