Friendly Ducks

Yesterday was gorgeous. Unfortunately we have to endure about another 5 days of chilly/rainy weather until we get the sunshine back. While I lounged in the yard, soaking in some rays (and getting one arm pinker than the other..??) Jason sat on the dock and fed the ducks. He took these pictures. I thought it was pretty cute how friendly they were being to him, and how he was talking back to them. (Sorry no Tiegan in these photos - she was at her playdate with Grandma).







They were coming up to nibble at his feet and everything. The 70-210 was mounted for these photos, which I have a newfound love for. I haven't used it in months. The depth of field is pretty great. The zoom is push-and-pull (rather than the typical twisting motion) which I thought might be awkward at first, but ended up falling in like with. Autofocus is a little jerky as it's an old lens, but easy to get used to.

Update on the job interview: I still haven't heard anything. I was told I'd be called early in the week, which was pretty disappointing come Wednesday afternoon, when it was officially no longer "early in the week." I'm still very anxious though, because I realize they have toonnsss of resumes to review and may just be bogged down. I'll give 'em a call this week. Wish me luck!
