First, a disclaimer. I am an amateur photographer and you cannot expect a typical review from me - this article just serves as an informal review for all of you who love NEX cameras and are considering buying this lens. It makes me nervous trying to write this!
This lens is the first native E-mount lens with autofocus not produced by Sony, who manufacture the NEX line.
On a sunny day in Melbourne, I walked into the Fitzroy Gardens after a light lunch. Located on the southeastern edge of the Central Business District, it is not the largest park in the city but certainly among the most beautiful. Garden landscapes and lovely architecture make this garden stand out among other parks.
I first headed to the Conservatory…
Walking through the Public Gardens this evening I noticed how wonderful the light was around this guy and his dog sitting on the bench. From there the theme just took off. I'm starting to think I've been in the Public Gardens too much -- I think the squirrels are starting to pose for me ... check them out in a few of the shots.
Thanks to the Atlantic Monthly's website for this story (click the image above to go to the source) about the resurgence of one of nature's most historically feared beasts. Although the return of these animals has made relations between conservationists and farmers more difficult in Germany as elsewhere, the net gain for our natural world speaks for itself:
...Wolves have been absent from Germany for nearly a century, hunted out of existence by the end of the 1800s.
In this Sutra, Patanjali talks about the characteristics of Samadhi' (Becoming the Being, more correctly to revert to the original State of Being).
Samadhi is ' a non-dualistic state of consciousness in which the consciousness of the experiencing subject becomes one with the experienced object.'
After discussing Knowledge, instruments of Knowledge,Patanjali goes straight down to Samadhi.
But the narration of the Sutras are not being followed by him here in the order…
Good Night
There are times in life that one has got to step forward and be brave, even when it may seem that it is not the thing to do.
Today was a day of risk taking and it was amazing how walking through fears and difficult situations has helped me to feel all warm, fuzzy, and comfortable inside.
Tonight:
"In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight."
The Tokens
Suellewellyn's Word-A-Week challenge "SLEEP" reminded me of some favorite moments from our African safari. We saw lions doing all kinds of things, but mostly, the king of the jungle was catching up on his zzzzz's !
"Cats have it all; admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it."
