Cheep! Cheep!

I really want this. Because, whoa, what kind of cool bird shots would I be able to take with that, eh? (You'll notice that it's currently on sale...HUGELY on sale...hmm....)

Instead, I have to sit very quiet and still, and wait, sometimes for a very long time, for the birds to get brave and come back to the feeders so I can get this kind of shot.

Actually, it's quite amazing to get this close...And there's also something to be said for being quiet and still for long periods of time; that's not something I let myself do very often.

Maybe I don't really want that lens after all.

Hmm.
