Watery Bokeh

I recently learned what "bokeh" means. For those who haven't learned this word yet, here is a definition from Wikipedia:

"In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in
out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points
of light." ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh

I don't claim to have done this on purpose. I didn't.
But I like the shot very much.
The bokeh gives it a dreamy, not quite real quality that appeals to me.

Wild Onion

These were blooming at our campsite over the Fourth of July. I was fascinated by the transparent membrane around the buds that drew back as the flower opened, it reminded me of an egg hatching. I am using these for

Shadow Shot Sunday

This guy was in our yard, browsing on shrubs, flowers, and grass the other evening. I followed him around from inside the house, shooting as many pictures as possible through the windows. Isn't he handsome?

This shot was cropped and converted to black & white with a green filter.
