bonus shots: my family

These shots were taken in our front garden with my Nikon D300, and yet another beautiful lens lent to me by Nikon -- the Nikkor 50mm 1.4G.  This is basically the brand-spanking new, automatic-focus version of the ancient 50mm manual lens you see me use so often around here.  It's really lovely, man.  I'm thinking I'm going to have to shell out the cash for this one, because it will kill me to give this back.

And, okay then, enough:  I'll tell you how I came to be in possession of these two lenses Nikon let me borrow.  But on Monday.  Right now, I have to go photograph more stuff.

Monday.  Promise.
