19. I'll bet you were looking through that lovely lens, Olympus 12-45mm f/4!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I sure was! That lens is what I always use in these photos.

My big lens (100 to 400 mm) is for the large faraway objects, like the moon. The photo below is the last quarter moon, and I took it in 2025:

favorite.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I am very happy that you enjoyed my photos this much, dear LoisB! Thank you!

That last photo is special for sure. It spoke to me: "Take my photo" it said. And so I did, most happily.
