Mama got a new lens

The point of this blog is to share pictures and stories.  I haven't been very inpired, Christmas was so busy and then now I have a case of the winter blues!  But I got a new lens recently and that has made me want to pull my camera out more and take pictures.  I wanted an every day lens that would do better than the kit lens that came with my camera.  After much debate and research (if you know me at all, you know I'm a disaster at making decisions...) I settled on the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8.  My old lens only went to 4.5 and boy do those extra stops make a difference!  Here are some of the first shots I took - I actually think it's fun that some of them are distorted a little with the wide angle.  I'm hoping this lens is just waht I need to jumpstart me into 2012.
