I am experimenting taking pictures with my brand new cell phone.
What do you think of these beauties?
Don’t they look like “fake fotos?”
I mean, they remind me of the old paint-by-number kits I used to love when I was a little girl.
Staying in the lines and making the colors pop were my goals.
Oh, the hours and the plans I made for framing and display.
I thought they were truly magnificent “originals.”
But then, here are my latest creations.
They were generated by nature and enhanced by “edit,” which can be just as much fun
as painting-by-numbers!

Long ago, when Bill and I were young dreamers, he said, “One of these days in our lifetimes, we will put a man on the moon.”
I thought he was crazy or maybe a genius, but of course his prediction came true. Even so, with all our technological advances, I have never been able to snap a good photograph of the moon.
Last year all photos were taken with my little cell phone, but moonshots were immediately deleted because they were tiny unrecognizable spots of light.
Then Bill gave me a new camera “pal” for my birthday. It did take impressively clear pictures but still refused to enlarge the moon.
For Christmas he gave me a new lens for the new camera – a zoom lens!
And a blue moon was rising.
This photo is the first moonshot I have ever revealed.
It may not match the many other professional closeups of our moon, but it reminds me of that dreamy night so long ago.
