3. Thanks so much, my dear elleng!

I can see places that need improving, but I'll take it!

2. Nice! I like the silhouetted palms.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thank you so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

That's great; I'm glad you're enjoying. Pssst--that is a giant pine tree.

6. Waxing crescents. They are beautiful. I love the first one for looking

like the crescent is hooked on the tree. The second is just lovely.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I am so grateful for your praise, my dear niyad . . .

The first one is interesting! I'm always happy to get a bit of earthshine, as I did in the second one.

9. The praise is completely justified. I am thinking how wonderful both

of those images would look as greeting cards. I bought one today that wasn't anywhere near that good! I could see a whole line of your farmers' markets, and moon images at my favourite gallery!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Wouldn't that be something? Thanks for the great comment! ♥

11. These are lovely, so graceful and serene. 🌙

I like the way the entire outline of the moon is discernible, even though just a sliver of it is fully illuminated.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Many thanks, my dear ShazzieB!

Getting the entire outline to show was something I was aiming for, and I had to work to get the exposure right! When the moon is this slender, everything is a challenge!

16. Thank you so much, my dear calimary!

I am profoundly moved at your reaction!

18. That top one makes me think the moon is peeking out from behind the foliage

with a devilish little smile.

[slightlv]

17. Beautiful!

I especially loved the top one... with the moon peeking out from behind and between the trees. Very evocative!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you, my dear slightlv! ♥ nt

19. The bow of Artemis' the Huntress 🌙

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing, Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Ah, my dear Hekate! Thank you.

I had forgotten about the bow of Artemis the Huntress. Thanks for reminding me.
