Isn’t she pretty? Turns out though – buying a new lens does not automatically make your photos awesome – so I think I have a bit of a learning curve ahead of me.

This first one is for the staycation treasure hunt over at WST, it’s lots of fun, so make sure you check it out in the forums.
The assignment for this was dandelion:

I know my focusing is a bit off (and a lot of other things too), but as I said – learning curve!
