Roses in the rain

[puddleshark]

Celebrated the return of the British summer - grey sky, rain and gales, at last! - and the acquisition of a new macro lens, by visiting the Secret Garden at Carey. Strangely, I had the rose garden entirely to myself. Just me, with my umbrella occasionally blowing inside out, and the roses uncomplaining in the wind and rain.





































I may have got a bit carried away. Really pleased with the new macro lens. So nice to have a working auto-focus again, after two years of struggling with manual focus. And it was half the price of the last macro lens I bought. Now that Canon have stopped manufacturing DSLRs and switched to mirrorless cameras, it seems there's a glut of secondhand Canon-fit DSLR lenses on the market.
