Meanwhile, Near To A Place Where Ice Cream is Sold

The Biss Meadows Renovation Opening Event of 2013. They may have re-renovated since; it's a large area and reliant on volunteers to keep it presentable.
Leaving the civic hoo-hah and speeches, I chanced upon this charming threesome who agreed to my taking their photograph.
I used a Nikon D50 at 400 ISO and 1/250th, Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6 AF G at 70mm and f/4 (i. e. wide open). I've bought this lens at least twice because for the money it's really quite good (but best under 200mm). It's also very light in weight. The later VR version is better, but not by as much as you might expect given its higher cost (and it weighs a lot more).
