New lens! Got my Tamron 70-210mm 2.8 today, went on a quick walk to shoot with it. It was pretty dark because of the rain clouds, and I got rained on on the way back.

My friend standing on his seat. I guess lighting comes in handy to freeze motion, but you could always pan to isolate the subject until you can afford it :) *might shoehorn this into the Duotone challenge if I don't get something better, but it rocks in color.. my mom likes the duotone version somehow*

Got lazy again today, chose a shot from last May that reminds me of how much spring/summer rocks. Winter is OK, but the weather is so much nicer in spring and summer. And the days are longer, everything looks so much prettier, etc. Just like 3 months left!

My friend hitting an old dirt jump. It's small but it's not easy to ride since it's on the side of a hill, you land into a gravel road if you hit it right, and you can't see if traffic is coming. I rode it a lot last year until I tore a big chunk out of my knee by landing too hard on the gravel and sliding. Now I dont hit this one much

A tree. Fairly boring I suppose, but I like the patterns in the branches. I had an idea for the Shadow challenge, but by the time I got home it was cloudy... :( Then I went out for a ride, and got hailed on!
