Time For A Prime
Amazon has a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 DX lens marked down to $199. It has great reviews and the only questionable side to it is the Bokeh. While not fantastic, it's not bad either. Just remember Bokeh isn't everything. A lot folks get stuck on that. Don't be afraid to push the "rules" of photography or even break them (I'm kind of a rebel). You never what you will come up with.

Light Painting
Last night my wife and I went out to Paint With Light again. Some fun images were made, but the heat created problems for the camera and the lens. It was 98F at 11pm, that's ridiculous! So the focus is not the best. Finding that perfect infinity zone was impossible. Taking my gear from 72F to 98F was not a good move. So we through the worry about focus out the window, and just had fun.
On another note: I purchased an EL Light two weeks ago and finally had time to use it. My wife really had fun with it, and produced some interesting images. I really like this one. It looks like a tree.
EL Lights can be purchased at Amazon.com for really cheap and come in various colors/lengths. Make sure you buy the models with a portable power source. Here is the link to the brand I purchased

Food!
I want to step away from photography and weather for a moment to discuss food. The other day I was channel surfing and come across the Pentagon Channel. I'm not sure when they added it to our listing but, I started watching it for a few minutes. That few minutes turned into two days with my wife watching also. Nothing was on more than 30 -60 minutes. One of the shows we watched titled Grill Sergeants. As you guessed it, it was a cooking show with active duty service members . Sergeant First Class Brad Turner was the chief for us on that episode. He is comical to watch and made some great dishes.
What's even better is the show has a website with all the recipes. All free and available for download here. I encourage you to give it a look. Bananas Alexandria is fantastic for a healthy snack and satisfies that sweet tooth. Trust me, it's replacing my not so healthy snacks. My biggest problem now is deciding on a main course. They all look and sound good!
