Summicron 50/2: Why I bought a Leica part II

When I saw this come up in lightroom, at the risk of sounding sentimental, it brought a tear to my eye.

The last few minutes of sunlight had a fantastic quality to them, this is my youngest daughter with the extreme hair backlighting, I wish I had used a tad fill in flash, but i still like this shot :)

I Love prince Edward Island!

we went to PEI ( one of the most beautiful places around here) and as i was out taking some sunset portraits and such my wife found a frog in the grass , so after a few minutes I managed to catch it :)

 as i said it was all slimy both kids chime in with :

 " Its not slime Its MUCUS! ......." from the disney movie Princess and the frog


check out the length of its shadow!
