So lovely, great expressions and I love Lu's fluffy tum  :Luv: do they get on well together Helen?

They absolutely adore each other   :Luv2: They do playfight but it's just that, they've never had a proper fight even though Riley can be really annoying sometimes, last night I saw Lu's head peep up over the end of the bed as he was just about to jump up - Riley rushed him from the side and literally rugby tackled him so I saw his little head flying sideways  :evillaugh: Lu has a 'girls tummy', very saggy but I wouldn't say he was fat  :)


aww best buddies  :Luv2: 
 :naughty: you're right about the tum but it's gorgeous though!  :Luv2:

Do you think the boys put piccies of you up on a "My hooman" website?  :evillaugh:

 :rofl:

What a horrific thought  :evillaugh: Trust me, I don't take a good photo  :-[

A few more pics from my new lens

Riley looking really intense  :Luv2:



Lu's perfect face  :Luv2:



Lu stalking Riley



This one's very blurry but that's cos as Lu got closer to Riley he realised Riley was about to pounce on him and so zoomed off in about 3 different directions at once to avoid being 'got'  :evillaugh:

 :thanks: everyone

Stunning photos as always :)

Can I ask you about your lens?  Does it have a Macro setting?  I want to buy a zoom one in a few weeks and originally was recommended the canon 70-300 but people I work with are telling me to go for 70-200's.  I don't know what to buy :(

I thought Macro was for close up shots?  The kit lens is 18-55 and you only use the Macro setting on the camera at the 18 end, this lens is a Tamron (Canon fit) AF55-200mm F/4-5.6 LD MACRO though so I have no idea what Macro means in relation to the actual lens  :shy:  I bought this one from ebay, boxed and in mint condition for £45 - an absolute bargain!

I know that the IS Canon lenses are meant to be very good but there also comes a very high price tag with them, I looked at lenses that were within my budget on ebay and then googled for reviews as some lenses, even Canon ones, get rubbish reviews.

I seriously think you should contact PAH and tell them the boys were raised on their food and what a good ad it would make  :Luv2:

I bought a new zoom lens for my camera and was experimenting with a few far away shots of the boys in the garden this afternoon.

Their eyes just melt me  :Luv2:

Riley looking quite wide!



Lu just being beautiful



Riley showing that he's not really a bloater!



Lu again



A few more added.....

A few more pics from my new lens

Riley looking really intense  :Luv2:
