Kissena Park was full of people on a lovely April 1 here in New York City. It was so nice to see people out enjoying them selves with the hard year we have had. The pond was full of assorted ducks and geese and turtles all going about there lives as if nothing has changed. The wood ducks that nested at the park last year appear to be ready to have another go at it and I'm enjoying getting to photograph them. Here is one that took to the air.

I bought the lens as a toy, but find myself absolutely loving it as a walk around lens that takes away pretty much everything beyond composition from making the image.
I won't say this lens is better than the XF23/2 overall, but at MFD it is significantly better in performance. The cheap little 7Artisans 25 is sharper at close distances and closer focusing to boot.
This was at Magnolia Plantation just outside Charleston SC.
Great going down there since here at home we're still at freezing in the morning. I did
take my studded snow tires off two weeks ago.
More dink around with the 1.4tc+70-300.
For daily carry I'm pleased with the combo.
I'd wanted more feather detail in this Mockingbird but still
for the distance I'm happy.
For the everywhere carry I'm now carrying the Fuj 16mm with close
focus adapter with the 70-300 combo above.
Size and weight it really is a pleasure. In my little sling I still have room for a small automatic
pistol, wallet, phone, extra battery and handheld 2m/440 radio which I cross band repeat to the base station in the house (50watts).
