Vive la difference

Today I got our Christmas package from my sister. She had told me that my gift was wrapped but none of the rest of the gifts were. [Hey, that’s something like I would do!] Sure enough, mine was wrapped. It was exactly the right size and weight to be either the 35/2 camera lens I wanted so badly or some candle I would hate just because it wasn’t my lens.
Oddly enough, my sister called soon after I opened the package. She asked me if I found my gift, and laughed when I told her the two possibilities. She told me to go ahead and open it, and I was more than happy to oblige.
Ah! My family loves me! It is the lens I so badly wanted – from my sister and her husband as well as my parents. Of course, they are the ones who most enjoy my pictures, so it only made sense. Oh, I am so very happy!
Just to let you know exactly how wonderful this lens is, here are two pictures. They were both taken from the doorway of our kitchen. The first is the 50/1.8 lens, the second, the 35/2 lens.
