So awhile back I dropped my Nikon and broke the mount on my 18-55 lens. Since then I looked off and on for a new one. Today I had to run some errands in Madison so I stopped in at The Camera Company. Guess what? I left with one. Not an 18-55 but a 18-70. This is not a kit lens. It has a metal mount. Also the old one took a 52mm filter. The new one takes a 67mm. Took it out to the lake and shot a couple of test shots.

I've got a thoroughly mediocre 17-70mm Sigma and it's all I ever shoot with anymore. That's a super useful range for a crop format camera.

So the boss gave me a raise, and the afternoon off yesterday... Rather than seek out a music store with shit I can't afford, I went to Plum Island. It's on the northshore of Mass, and about 4 miles south of the NH border. It's home to the Parker River NWR.... last time I explored there was about 15 years ago.

Well I did it again. Had my camera sitting on the arm of the couch ready for a trip to the lake. Bumped it and it hit the floor. My Tamron 70-300 is now a thing of the past. The metal mount didn't break but the piece it was screwed into did. Shame I liked that lens. Amazon had one so Prime should have it here Saturday. If I quit breaking old gear maybe I could get some new stuff.

Nope..... the plovers have migrated already. There are only 2 babies left in the refuge, and the park rangers said that they will be fledged by Sunday. They may not open the beaches yet as there are terns still out there.@parrotheada1a Piping plovers!
