A couple of weeks ago, my beautiful little 14-42mm lens quit working.

I was quite distressed since it was my walk-around lens for everyday shooting. Repairing it wasn't a good option, so I ordered a new one.

It arrived today!

I immediately took it outside and started taking photos. Here's some of them: And I hope you enjoy!

Heavenly Bamboo or Nandina


The rest are Oak-leaf hydrangeas












These are all straight out of the camera; no post-processing was done.

5. Love the contrast and composition in these photos, Peggy.

I’m glad that with your new lens we can now look forward to more!

6. Aw, thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

That's really nice of you.

Don't get me wrong: I enjoy using my iPhone quite a lot, but I sorely missed my walk-around lens on my Olympus camera.

They're really fun to use.
