OLD LOCATION, NEW TOY

A week or so ago, the wonderful people I work with had a retirement luncheon for me. The core of us have been together for more than 30 years. One of the nice things they gave me was a substantial Amazon gift certificate. I told them that before the day was done it would be used to benefit a certain Japanese manufacturer of optical and electronic goods.

And so, a few days later, a Fujifilm 90mm f 2.8 prime lens arrived. It's something I coveted but wouldn't spend the money on myself. I had to take it out for a test drive, of course, so I went to the usual places in Forest Park. I'm very happy with the focus and clarity.

Congratulations on your retirement. But as a photographer, you'll never retire!!

Retiring in style! Enjoy the next part of your life Bob, and take many more photos with your new lens.

Hi, Bob. This reminds me. You recently commented on my blog, saying that a former colleague has retired to Estero. That is maybe 15 minutes north of my North Naples home. If you decide to visit her, let me know.
