The first night in our new home demanded this photo from the patio. A full moon, hopefully an auspicious beginning. I was running about the house trying to unpack a few things when something told me to just stop, to go outside and be with the beauty of the outdoors for a little while. To breathe. Very therapeutic.
Photo taken with an iPhone 6Plus, and a native filter, Silent Movie, was used.

I’m slowly making my way back to the world of blogs, and trying to remember to stop more often to take a breather.

I like your photo this week, it has a lot of ‘volume’ to it.
Next month I am going to update my phone to a 6s Plus and I am curious how you like yours. Any comments or suggestions? The overall size was intimidating to me for a longtime and then I just decided ‘to heck with it’ and get a screen that I don’t have to squint at to use.

Thanks, Allan. I love the 6Plus. The size at first almost made me choose the 6, but I decided I needed a bigger screen. I am so glad I went with the 6Plus!
It does not feel at all awkward in my hand like I thought it might. I have not found one negative thing about it. Have fun with the 6sPlus!
