For the past 2 weeks I've been feeling like I'm missing my limbs. I know that's quite dramatic and exaggerated but I had to send my camera lenses off to get repaired. Till this point I had not realized how obsessed I was with taking pictures. I was left with a camera body and no lens and for some reason I have been feeling like so many moments have happened during these two weeks left uncaptured.
In a very desperate move to satisfy my addiction I pulled out my very old 70-300mm 5.6 lens which is scratched, has been dropped numerous times and probably has a few microorganisms growing inside of it. I know that I will probably not get many top quality photos from it but it's definitely better than nothing.
I visited Flamingo Gardens again yesterday ( for the 10th time this year) and I can say I was able to get my fix and not go into withdrawals. What a nerd! In the process of taking my first pictures the lens locked up on me and I had to focus manually. For someone that relies on the Auto Focus feature of the lenses this was quite a challenge but looking at the pictures that came from yesterday I am excited to say I have learned something new. Maybe it was all God's plan to teach me how to focus manually. LOL!
Here are some of the unedited photographs except for the black and white ones of course....

Thank you Janet ! You are one of my biggest cheerleaders! I am actually doing my first wedding in a few months and I am beyond frightened but they did not let me say no. I am very scared but crossing my fingers that I can deliver and be able to give them beautiful pictures of their wedding. Let's see how it goes!
