That is beautiful, John. Reading it with tears coursing down my cheeks. May I use this? I'll give you credit, of course.

Condolences. Our pets are family members.

I would like to buy this lens. How do we proceed? I do have PayPal.

After my wife's mother died, we went through some of the stuff that had been stored away for years. My wfe's father was a photographer during & right after WWII. He photographed some of the Art Treasures the Nazis stole as they were recovered, & photographed Nuremberg. There was a lot of stuff, some old cameras that were just crumbling apart from being stored in an unseated breezeway closet, but I did find a small box of negatives - I think they were 4cm x 6cm - that were in remarkably good shape. The enlarger, though, was beyond repair. I don't know what's on all the negatives (hesitant to handle them much), but would really appreciate some advice on the best way(s) to print these old negatives in the digital age. There could be some things of historical significance.

I ended up dropping CC & moving back to Lightroom 5. That gives me the wonderful cataloging, presets, etc. It's quite good for my needs, and - being a Mac user - Affinity Photo takes care of anything Lightroom balks at. (I did try Apple Photos & despised it.)

Beautiful. A really nice shot.
