Jacques, a ginger cat with blue eyes.  Quite unusual - thanks for sharing.  Glad you found a suitable replacement for the stolen lens.

P.S.  I have had a total of five ginger cats over about 60 years, and their eyes all transitioned from blue as young animals to the more usual orange/yellow colour that adult tabby cats have..

This one is a cat that belongs to my second daughter's husband. Quite a special cat that survived countless mischiefs. He's getting older now and a wee bit more tamed  :o He's the last of our family cats (My wife and I stopped having cats, but do the cat-sitting for our children and nephews)!
Yes, the 60mm f/2.8 AF-S G ED Micro Nikkor is a very light (vs the 105 VR) everyday lens, with quick AF. Might have some use with my architecture students models  8)

BTW, I just blocked someone on Flickr that seems related to Birna and Fons (I saw it afterward). There's been a spat of "russians ladies" (not only ladies) lately, that favored thousand of pictures from many accounts... The usual signs : several years of account, no albums, a handful of pictures in the gallery... So if Nikonmf is someone from NG, I'll happily unblock him (or her)... ;)

Jaques: as far as I know Moderators and Administrators here have gotten rid of all MFs on this forum. We only had a few anyway
