Canon?

Canon EOS 700D.

Yep - the longer L-series lenses are that beige colour with the red ring.

Don't recognize it though, but it looks like the right size to be the newer version of the 100-400... Or it could be the 70-200 2.8

The platelet on the lenses say it's EF 300 mm 1:4 L US. Bought it second hand. It's got a few scratches on the cover but that's it.

Morning y'all
Blue sky
Looks like a nice day outside

I have to drop No1 daughter off somewhere, this morning, so I'll take the dog with me and have a walk on t'other side of town, for a change.
Sun's shining, blue sky and no wind. Anyone would think it's June!

Morning .
I thought I was safe from unexpected surprises this morning as I looked around our kitchen floor . The culprit was lying on a chair underneath the table enjoying an ear rub . I gave him his breakfast and started to make my coffees . Eeeek! I spotted it dead on the floor!
Owl food . A vole of some kind .

At least it was dead and not running round the kitchen.

It is bright and sunny here!

Ah, I worked with a number of men from Lewis in the 70s and I may have confused Bothan with bothy. Shebeen was the commonest word though. I'd never heard of a hawff before, though.

A howff has a different basic use as it is an overnight or weekend shelter used by climbers and hillwalkers. The drink is incidental and not the main purpose.

My wife was just saying that we have only seen a Squirrel twice in our garden yet there are hazel nut trees sprouting all over the garden .

A bit cloudy this morning but sunshine breaking through.
May try to get out for a run in the middle of the day to see wha traffic is like.
A bunch of 8 or 9 yesterday were heading out in close formation and it took a long wait to get past them on the double track road so what they were going to do on the single track I shudder to imagine. I hope they had the sense to stop in passing places or what is a busy main road.

Right, the sky's blue and the day's warming up. This, plus the workmen drilling the external walls, means I'll be taking a walk for my morning coffee.

You know it'll take better pictures with the lens cap removed.

Me jealous!!
