Momma got a new lens!! | cherry street photography [fun]

It’s late and hubby comes home from going out to dinner with some friends. He says he has some good news for me…that I can buy the new lens I’ve been wanting! I didn’t debate at all, the next day I immediately ordered the Nikkor 35mm f/2.0. There are of course some REALLY fab other lenses that I want, but they are all a little over budget at the moment and I’ve really been eyeing the 35mm f/2.0. It arrived on a Monday. Probably one of the worst days it could arrive. Mondays are hectic and after errands, the gym, picking up the kids, gymnastics and dinner, I’m way to exhausted to play. Good news is that I got to play on Tuesday.

This lens seriously ROCKS! I was a little nervous b/c it seems luck of the draw whether you get a sharp or a soft copy. Thankfully I got a razor sharp copy! This baby could cut glass! LOVE it!



And here is my day 20 of project 365…(I told you it was sharp! )

a yummy Apple Martini recipe…

For New Years we were going to a friends house and we were supposed to bring an adult beverage to share. Since I had been craving an apple martini I decided to find a good recipe and make some yummy apple martini’s for everyone. I had to do a little testing to figure out which recipe I liked and I thought I’d share the winning recipe to go with my 365, day 11 shot.
