Some more from Lensbaby Edge 35.
Last two are new, the rest from when I was beta-testing it last fall. As mentioned a few days ago I'm lucky to be among those who get to keep one of the beta lenses and I received it a couple of days ago.
Some shots around the burned-out old Armory building in Aberdeen, which had become the town museum -- sad to have all the historical artifacts from the logging era damaged or lost around a year ago.

"Warning, Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!"
WTF graffiti -- was this a message, or just a mess?
Supports for concrete walls damaged by high temperatures.
I love the early spring haze, which arises when the sun shining strongly begins to heat up after the winter. Its rays reflect then from the ground, devoid of greenery and the evaporating moisture from winter precipitation rises up,so as they are mingled together . It is warm and joyful. Skylarks are sing over the fields. It smells of hot soil, ready to give new crops in the summer.Muted,delicate colours are showing up.Sunlight dance on swollen leafless branches, which in a moment will explode with the unrestrained explosion of greenery.Even age-old, mossy trees seem to be young and spewing with energy.
But all that is difficult to show on picture.Or rather it is difficult for me.The light is sharp and blinding. Yet I tried again.

And some morning early spring mist with the A6000 and Tamron VC 70-300/4-5.6,showing sunrise over the small medieval city in my beloved heimatland,taken from the side of the road and on the way to work.
I'm always thinking about what my "Desert Island Lens" would be and, whenever I take out the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.5 Macro (52BB), I have to admit that it is THE most versatile lens I own. Perfect as a short tele and a 1:2 macro. It is tack sharp, has great bokeh and Zeiss-like micro contrast. Trifecta!
Just returned from a trip to Pt. Reyes , CA. Didn't see too many birds, but beautiful area.
To some a common bird, but we don't see many American Robins around here.

Thank you very much Roberta! This week I went to Washington DC three times to catch the sunrise and the cherry blossoms, two of the mornings had very clear sky, not much of a sunrise to speak of. But this morning it was colorful and the water was calm, good for reflection. Two shots from this morning.
