400 is a bit long for garden shots, but you made them work.

Nice garden, yours?

Thanks Dave - yes my garden. You are right I guess I could just stand further back this time. Also no wind helped a lot.

Thanks Nick and Yves. Not that much into them myself Nick (except having them in the garden). They are my go to subject when its not right for landscapes. I was fiddling with the new lens in these ones and hoping for somes birds - but the long white part scared them all away.
