She's Here!

When I checked the shipping status of my lens this afternoon and saw she had just been delivered, I decided to dash home before my match so I could play with her.  At first I was a bit frustrated when I saw the traffic at the West Hills exit, but then I realized I had my new lens to keep me occupied!  I got so distracted I wasn't even concerned being stuck in traffic for 20 minutes while I needed to be preparing my players for their district match.

The view from my side mirror.  I'm not lying when I say I was on the exit ramp for 20 minutes.  

I hoped to get some shots of my players in action, but today's match was a little too intense for that.  We played Hardin Valley Academy - a total unknown in all sports this year.  My girls won 8-1 and the boys lost 3-6.  So far the girls are 4-0 in the district while the boys are 2-2.  

I rushed home to take advantage of the beautiful sunset.

Milly is always willing to be my subject.

Well, this isn't her best angle, but check out that sunset!

I may need to switch her onesies to preemie size.  Her 0-3 months shirts are a bit saggy.

Here is a shot taken with my standard package lens.

And the same shot with the new 50mm 1.4.  Much crisper and defined.  Totally worth it!
