Howdy @happy - Lenses are designed for specific types of photography and effects. Ultimately it comes down to the types of subjects and scenes that interest you most. If you're just looking for a good all around "outdoor" shooter, you can't go wrong with the all-in-one Tamron 18-270mm VC (see here). This lens will allow you to capture everything from landscapes to distant birds. Happy shooting! :)

Di II VC "PZD". I'm looking to buy this for my D3100, but currently it's super expensive.
