Bokeh


What a peaceful pretty place to visit. I never knew there were so many different types of cactus. Cactuses? Cacti?

Just a little something that caught my eye after today’s rain.

The crepe myrtles in my back yard are in full bloom, so I couldn’t resist this photo opportunity.

This was part of a photo assignment from a flickr group I administer, Saturday Shutterbugs. The assignment was to take the same photo with the aperture wide open and again with it stopped all the way down.  This was to help recognize and appreciate the different effects of changing the aperture and what is appropriate for the story you are trying to tell with your image.
