New Camera Lens!

Share with your friends!

We were very fortunate to receive another camera lens from our wish list (thank you Stephanie and Kurt!). This is a telephoto lens, so we can get great close-ups. Diana and I tried it out this morning…

Annie:

    Those are spectacular! Annie is just the picture of perfection. I love the shots without the bars in front of them.

    Thank you for your gift Stephanie and Kurt! These pictures are incredible! I have to agree that their eyes are captivating. They are also bright with health and happiness. The eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. I never tire of looking at these wonderful creatures.

    Oh My Gosh!!! These pictures are astounding! Thank you to Stephanie and Kurt from me, too. I’ve been waiting for a close up of Foxie! I was looking back at other photos and her eyes are so much more alive. In others it looks like she is looking back into her past and there are painful memories. She now is looking toward the future and into loving life.
    Diana, JB, Sarah, Keith and all others who have made this possible, thank you is not a big enough word but know that it comes from the heart. It is truly amazing to see the change in just a few short months. And thank you for sharing so often.
