New Leaves and Bokeh Sun -- Day 89

Colored Glass -- Day 57

This afternoon I was at a loss for what to photograph. I took a walk and found a few interesting subjects. This one proved to be the best. At first I found just a lone piece of blue glass then discovered green, clear, and brown further down the sidewalk. I took a few shots where I found the glass, but then I decided I'd get better photos if I brought the glass home and didn't have to lay on the sidewalk next to the main road through our neighborhood. I don't know what the people driving by thought. :) So I collected a handful and brought it home to our front walk and sprawled out there instead. At least my family knows me and knows I'm a crazy photographer who does whatever she has to to get the angle she needs. :)

Snow Globe -- Day 352

Another Christmasy photo for today. Is anyone tired of seeing Christmas yet?

Bokeh Lights -- Day 328 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....." Thanksgiving Day is over and now it's time to get into the Christmas spirit. :) When I got home from work today (part of the Christmas spirit around here includes working with Dad in the warehouse shipping die-cast models all over the world) Hannah had Christmas music playing and across the street the neighbors had decorated their outside Christmas tree. So I decided to feature the lights on the tree on my blog. I liked how this bokeh shot turned out.

Bokeh Smarties -- Day 260 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

I decided to try my hand at some bokeh lighting. Instead of just using the normal aperture, I cut a heart out of construction paper and put it over my lens to create heart shapes in the background. The bokeh hearts are a string of Christmas lights piled on the floor in background. I didn't want to just do a boring picture of lights so I added Smarties into the foreground. I ♥ Smarties!
