Rabbott Loc: Grass Valley , California
 
I was at the beach one day, playing with my new lens.
I noticed this young lady,,, apparently doing the same thing. I thought it made for a great shot.
I was far enough away, that I wasn't intruding .

Interesting tidbit about the field of Mustard she is standing in. The first Spanish monks that explored the California coast would trek along, setting up small outpost pueblos as they traveled. As there were no maps for their future followers to guide them to where they had established the outpost the monks wore a long slender cloth tube on their belts and it was filled with the dust size seed of the mustard plant, the tube had a miniscule hole at the bottom and as they walked along the seed slowly was released. The next spring when the next expedition of Spaniards started their trek to follow they would just follow the flowers as a bread crumb trail.
Love the depth of field in you photo.

Really enjoyed that shot. Out of curiosity, what kind of new lens do you have?
