Closer to heaven - Macro Monday

My first participation in Macro Monday, hosted by Lisa

And while I checked ebay yesterday for a nice game for hubby, I couldn’t resist to check for lenses.
And I got me this nice Baby.

Used.For Euro 93,-
Not too shabby.
I instantly had a message from the Seller and questions about shipping were answered asap. Now I’m eagerly waiting for DHL. We shall see if it takes one or two weeks

Before trying to lay my hands on it, I asked in one of my flickr groups and got instant help.
One of the reasons why I always loved flickr (at least the people there )

Thanks all - Danke

This shots is still taken with the 18-200.
I'm getting the 18-70 mainly for shooting some Portraits and see if it makes a difference in landscapes.

We will see if I keep it or if it's up for the grabs on the market soon again

Hi there Nicole.
Thank you for visiting my first entry at the Macro Monday meme.

Your picture is beautiful.
I like the soft look and the colors very much.

I hope that you get your new lens soon and very soon.

Hope to see you around.
