Vacation Time

Finally! It’s time for my summer holiday. I have two weeks off now and I have been really looking forward to it. Not that I don’t enjoy being at work but getting out of the work schedule for a while isn’t bad!!!

Since I’m not going away, besides the occasional day trips, I’ve decided to buy myself another lens for my camera. I have been wanting a telephoto lens for awhile. I already have a macro lens I use whenever I can, but for some things you just can’t get too close, for example the cats down at the stable. Or a sports game (or a equestrian competition). So a telephoto lens allows me to bring the object closer to me even though I can’t get (too) close to it.

I picked up a Pentax telephoto lens today, which I had to test immediately. Luckily the sun was out and it was generally a beautiful day so the kittens were out to play in the yard away from the safe environment of the stables. Here’s a shot of two sibling kittens looking at a (for me) invisible attacker while they weren’t even aware I was there making photo models out of them ;)

Oh wow, they’re so beautiful!! I normally don’t like kitties, but these ones are just adorable!! I hope you’ll get some time for relaxation away from work. It’s like now that we’re working, it seems like there’s really no break or end in sight. :)
