lens is 18mm-270.
This picture was taken with the lens of my mountain... at the
top you can see the individual trees.. is that somebody waving?
Here is my mountain taken with my regular lens:

egg... I tried it using a pint canning jar with a lid and it
worked!

February 12th
Abraham Lincoln's Birthday
Abraham Lincoln's actual birth date.
However, in modern times, we celebrate Lincoln, and all of the U.S. Presidents,
on President's
Day.
Every
American knows President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United
States. "Honest Abe", as he was commonly known, was born in the wilderness
country of Hardin County, Kentucky on February 12, 1809.
Abraham
Lincoln became president in 1861. Although he hated war, he was drawn into it as
he believed it was the only was to save the nation, after the southern states
declared their secession from the Union.
In
addition to serving as president during the civil war and saving the Union,
Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation that ended slavery in the U.S.
forever.He also wrote and gave The Gettysburg Address, memorializing the
bloodiest and most important battle of the Civil War. Gettysburg proved to be
the turning point of the war.
Shortly
after the war ended, Abraham Lincoln became the first U.S. President to be
assassinated. He was shot and mortally wounded on Good Friday, April 14, 1865 by
John Wilkes Booth in Ford's
Theatre.

Wow, 8 years. RIP Jerry, sure wish I would have had the chance to meet him. All the stories I have heard sound like he was a fun loving guy!
Your new lens is great. I think I know that guy waving! Kidding of course. The pictures of the critters are amazing. Really shows off details. You will have fun with that.
Well, you know how well I did with the egg peeling. First time worked great, then I decided to try two at a time and was not so successful. Maybe I was shaking them too hard. I will try again.
Have a wonderful day, stay busy! Chat later. xo

Oh my! I cannot believe it's already been eight years! I remember that morning well when you wrote with the news. So sad. He was a good looking man and a good man. I know you miss him terribly. RIP Jerry.
I am glad to hear the method of peeling the egg worked. I posted it on my FB page and told my friends I would try it and let them know. Haven't done it yet so happy to hear you did and it works.
Your new lens is amazing. Have fun with it!
XO Trisha
