Bachelor Button & Bokeh

I was happy with how this photo turned out.  The camera lens and mid-morning light and shade teamed up for some nice bokeh, which is the out-of-focus background.

This is the first time I’ve joined the blog events, “Your Sunday Best” at a A Rural Journal  and “Weekly Top Shot” at The View From Right Here to find this week’s photos.

That is gorgeous. I think this one should be framed and hung on a wall.

SO gorgeous! Sorry I been so quiet these last couple weeks, I’ve been really ill (now finally diagnosed with Whooping Cough even though I was immunized) and have had another very rough week.

It must be very cute if having two black dots on its face.

Blue hairs, smiling face, long neck...

have a lovely day.

This is absolutely beautiful...the color of this wildflower. I had to google search "bokeh" before I commented. I love the effect!

Gorgeous shot. Early morning and early evening light are the best, aren't they?

I finally figured out what bokeh is recently, and you captured it here beautifully. Not sure what lens you're using... but it's working for you!

This photo was taken with the Nikon D40's 18-55mm lens with the Opteka macro lens attached.
