OMG. OMG OMG. Super OMG. Super super OMG.
At times like this my general reaction to cool things has shifted from something like "wow", "woah" or "oh my..." to OMG and the variations listed above.
The moon's been coming out for me to look at the past couple of days. I've been playing around with my different lenses. Still haven't got the hang of the 3x zoom, it's a tricky little thing. We can see the craters with such definition it almost made me cry. I ...

Just a little song I thought of while walking the dog. I couldn't be bothered to write it down on paper.
