Papa received a new Lense and went for a Walk

 
We did enjoy the Sun in the Back Yard and relaxed waiting for UPS to deliver Papas new 55-200 mm Nikon Lense. Thanks to Stephen.

When the package arrived, Steve had to check the quality. 
What then after receiving my new Lense? We headed on at the Texas Hill Country Roads. Take Care during heavy Rain in the bottom of the Hills. No joke, I assure you;)
 
We went to pick up the Dogs at the Kennel -  Copperstill Kennel.
A Jeep or van is recommended on the tiny road…
 
Here you see young Buddy. He was simply exited too meet us again. Good boy.

Here you see the Kennel owner, who as well will train Buddy for several weeks in January.
 
Papa has heard rumours: Take care, it’s rattle snakes in Texas.
Then papa went for a walk all by himself in Lago Vista. Needed to be familiar with his new Lense. 90 minutes. Here are some Photos, click and study if you have time to enjoy…

Well , a  wonderful and relaxing day has to come to an end:

The Sky reminded papa of travel. You see why?

PS. Ordered the Lense from Adorama

Texas Hill Country -leaving

Hi, this is the last post from our visit to Texas Hill Country and wonderful Irene and Stephen in Lago Vista
( In fact – I post it backwards, so you will see the last report first).
 
We will miss our friends in Lago Vista. We learned a lot.
It was with a great sentiment we left.
Here Anna had to read a book in the Sunshine.
It was too hot for Nina (The Dog) to stay in the Sunshine.
 
Beautiful Buddy was in his House when we had to say Farwell.
Have a good training Buddy. We’ll meet again.
You are a good boy.
We miss you.
 
S and I drived us to the Airport and helped us with all the baggage.
We came down with allmost empty suitcases and went home with new clothes.

We went on Boat down at the Lake.
