Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #194 – Bokeh

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.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #193 – Birthday

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.

I celebrated my 62nd birthday by panning for gold in Dawson City, Yukon Territory
One year we celebrated Henry’s birthday at the Jameson Distillery in Dublin, Ireland.

Why wait until a birthday to celebrate? Celebrate the little things every day!

Thanks to John for the challenge Lens’Artists #193: Birthday
