A few weeks ago I posted an image in the gallery of a wild goat, which are a fairly common site in and around the village.

The following are links to a few more taken that evening.

All shot with the DA 55-300.

Thanks Andrew.

i-Berg, The manor house is privately owned, whilst the local Council owns the gardens; this might explain the difference in the lawn maintenance!

Gareth, the arm does look a bit strange, which is why I included it
Being such a dominant part of the gardens, I sort of felt forced into including an image of the manor house.

Kind regards
Adrian

The Manor House at Glynllifon dates back to the 18th century, and was the home for Lord Newborough. It's now in private ownership and is open for civic events.

There are acres of beautiful gardens, which includes flowers and trees from all over the world. Whilst walking around I found it hard to believe that I only live a ten minute drive away.

If you're ever in the area (ten minutes from Caernarfon), then it's well worth the visit.

Please click on the links below for some images from Saturday's visit (the hand out of the water is a tribute to the local quarrymen).

K100D here, although it's in Canada.

Some others there as well, including a *ist DS; however shipping restricted to North America. If no offers, you never know, they might change their mind and ship to the UK.

Just sold mine for £200, seems to be the going rate; sad but true
A 'new' lens sold on is still used, again sad but true.

Good luck with your sale.

Whilst I don't own the Sigma 17-70, I have the Sigma 18-50.
According to the specs of both lenses (non HSM version of the 17-70), the 18-50 is 5g lighter.

It's very well balanced on the Kx.

Having now sold my DA40 Ltd, I'm now looking for a DA 55-300.
If anyone has one that they are willing to sell, then I would be interested.

Thanks
Adrian

Thank you for the adice Gentlemen, I will pop in to SRS tomorrow and see what they have new or used. Has anybody used the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro as it's a bit cheaper than the Tamron. It had a good review in March's Digital Photo mag?
I've had this lens since January, and am very pleased with it.
