BABY GIRL DRESS COATS

Oh My Heart.... this precious baby bird had fallen from it's nest and I happened upon it during my lunch hour... being very concerned for it, I couldn't just walk away and "hope for the best"... so I called my friend who works at a vet clinic... she informed me that the Wild Bird Store over in the Marigold Shopping Center takes in rescues much like this one... so, since I was leaving work early anyway... I thought I'd leave an extra 1/2 an hour early to take it there; this with the hopes that they could feed it and eventually set it free.

Well, as I was sitting at my desk, I kept the baby within eyesight so I could make sure it was comfy and safe... I noticed it's breathing changed dramatically so I informed my supervisor that I needed to get the bird to the rescue people quicky... I was worried. So I log out of my computer and then go over and swipe my timecard, I come back to pick up my purse and the box with baby bird and notice that baby bird had stopped breathing and moving... my little baby bird passed away before I could get it to the people to help. :((

Needless to say... I cried... I tried to a do a good deed for such a tiny creature who could not help itself... but I was too late. I hurt. :(

so, I just returned from my trip to NYC, after spending last night in an airport due to delayed flights causing me to miss a connecting flight, I'm just glad I am home again.

I'm off work this week.
WOOHOO!

On my way home from the airport I made a quick stop at my local camera store that cost me about $400

I got a Canon EF Lens that's 50mm f/1.8 and also a protective filter,
and a Canon BG-E2N Battery grip for my 40D and also a new battery.

This is a test shot I got today with the new f/1.8

just bask in the DoF goodness.
I recommend this lens to ANYBODY that shoots Canon, it's only $90!
