9 Dec 2006 Sent home with work and was able to visit family and friends over the weekends. I was trying out the fantastic Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens, which I borrowed from a friend at work. Since we were bird watching, some of the creatures were a long way away, and the telephoto only extends to 200mm, so several of these shots are heavily cropped. Still, I was very impressed and am definitely considering investing in one of these lenses.
