A beautiful set of images! Looks like an amazing place to explore with a small powerhouse like the Q, and just a little imagination. Thanks for sharing!

Last one this evening...

More photos of spring here! After the recent cold snap where we actually received snow (very unusual in April), the warmth is welcome.

Tree blossoms, taken yesterday morning. We had a cold night (got down to 24 degrees Fahrenheit/-4 Celsius), so it was a little chilly being out first thing with the camera.

Sunset this evening.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

So the Raynox 150 works great on the X Vario? I may have to pick up one of those - the images taken with it are quite impressive, and adds another dimension of enjoyment to the XV.

And a closeup of some of the flowers on that tree. Colors are really rendered quite nicely with the X Vario. I love spring! Everything comes back to life after a brown/grey winter. Shots taken in Louisville, KY.

Spring color!

Another one... small industrial city in West Virginia.

I sold my X Vario awhile back, missed having it, and subsequently bought another one. It's such a fantastic camera.

It's a pretty modest set of improvements, but the "improvement of image quality in lower ISO settings" is interesting. I haven't installed it to my Q just yet, but will do so shortly. It's available here: https://us.leica-camera.com/Service-Support/Support/Downloads?category=124335&subcategory=&type=&language=93871 Version 1.1 Performance Improvements: - Improvement of the image quality in lower ISO settings Bug Fixes: - Exposure has been corrected in digiscoping mode after switching off and on again. - Improvement of the Live View in monochrome mode in combination with AF tracking. After installation of the new firmware the Live View now shows a monochrome image. For proper focusing the camera switches to color when pressing the shutter button half way.

The macro ability of the Q is really good, though I did crop this down by about 70%. Shows just how sharp the lens is.

I love this photo! Well done.
