For Christmas this year my main gift to myself was a new Nikon AF-S VR 55-200 mm. I finally got around to taking a few picture of the kids yesterday and I’m happy with it so far. I’ve still got a lot to learn about my camera but I can’t imagine going back to a point and shoot model.

Here are a few shots I took in the later afternoon as the sun was beginning to set. I sure like being able to stand back from the kids and take candid shots instead of getting in on them with my smaller lens.
