Thank you for popping in to leave a comment.<br />I love my Fujifilm camera and appreciate the lighter weight and the excellent quality lenses. I still keep my Canon for the macro and 50mm lens.<br />A pancake lens sounds exciting! I shall look forward to seeing what it does! It will be lovely and light to use!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-10014161275702741012016-08-30T22:43:08.072+02:002016-08-30T22:43:08.072+02:00The heat is producing some amazing cloud formation...The heat is producing some amazing cloud formations! I love the hand photos - so appealing and graceful. My own hands are so scuffed and often dry - I like yours better, but I'm glad for mine,too! I especially love the lace curtain shots - your curious eyes find great compositions. Are you liking the new camera, Sandra? I just bought a 17mm pancake for mine. It should arrive by the weekend.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-59009583344983354272016-08-30T20:57:06.598+02:002016-08-30T20:57:06.598+02:00Thanks, Lissa for your visit.

The cloud formation is amazing - it almost doesn't look real. The picture of your beautifully manicured nails put mine to shame, I have been grubbing about in the garden all day and let's just say, my nails are less than clean :) They won't be asking me to do a nail advert any time soon that's for sure. Looking forward to the next set of photos.
