Not a lot of words are needed here. Suffice to say I’m playing around with my new Sony 100-400mm lens, and what better place than the garden. The birds are willing accomplices and help me put the lens through its paces. I really like this lens a lot.

Garden Buddha, warm winter blanket, San Cristobal NM. In today’s slightly higher temperatures the statue has a fully formed apron of slumped snow. Tomorrow the Buddha will have stocking feet! Thanks for looking and stay warm where you are. G
