Every Day is a Gift!
In photography, a Bokeh is the blurred or out of focus background in a photo. I’ve achieved this affect many times by setting the camera to aperture priority or by using a telephoto lens for taking close ups of birds or flowers. I never knew there was a name for this effect until I read Sophia’s challenge Lens’Artists #194: Bokeh
For Sofia’s challenge I chose a few images of this year’s spring blossoms from around my yard.

Our family is scattered and it is rare for us to all get together to celebrate a birthday. Henry and I have often found ourselves celebrating a birthday in a place far from home.
Why wait until a birthday to celebrate? Celebrate the little things every day!

I found curves in nature on a recent walk in the Georgia woods.

For this challenge Patti has asked us to get closer to our subject. We can get closer by moving our feet, using a zoom or macro lens, or cropping.
In honor of yesterday’s 198th Savannah St. Patrick’s Day celebration, the first one since 2019, I’m featuring the Celtic Cross in Savannah, Georgia for this challenge. The header image is the original photo. The next three images show the image cropped in three ways to show details of the different parts of the cross.

Our challenge from Tina is to show images that never quite fit into a challenge category. I came up with a few images from my archives. The header image is from the Key West Cemetery.
In Savannah, when the azaleas are blooming and the Fountain in Forsyth Park turns green you know St. Patrick’s Day is almost here. These images were taken a few years ago.
Athens, Georgia is the home of the University of Georgia. It is also home to two interesting sights unique to Athens. A double barrelled cannon, the only one known of its kind, stands in front of City Hall. The Tree that Owns Itself grows in the middle of a quiet neighborhood.
I’ll end the post with images of the end of two U. S. Highways, U. S. 1 in Key West and U. S. 80 in Tybee Island, Georgia.
