Bokeh

(BO-KEH) refers to the quality of the blurring of the out-of-focus portion of an image, 

With a reflex (= mirror) lenses, it’s a doughnut bokeh: The blurring consists of “donuts,” round, circular patterns that ad an interesting twist to the overall image.

Lady Bugs Like Raspberry Jelly Too!

This little gal woke up from hibernation in my kitchen today,
so I served her breakfast on a yogurt lid and set her outside on my back porch table.
She was really hungry.
By the way, this is the best way to catch lady bugs in your house…

Happy Spring!

Tree Monster Walking

Many years of the Illinois River overflowing it’s banks has exposed the root structure of this 
Silver maple, yet it still lives.
Doesn’t it look like it’s about to walk away?
