My Flickr contact Mihaly Ivany shot up at this streetlight in Budapest, Hungary.

Hypericum
My Flickr contact rosemary* posted this wonderful image of a hypericum with great, dreamy bokeh and shadows of the stamen on the leaves.
Garden in bokeh
My long time Flickr contact minato took this self-portrait in a wisteria garden in Japan. The full frame Canon 5D and fast 50mm lens make the bokeh look like watercolor. I love the color of her hat, all the colors actually. Brilliant.
Momiji
My long-time Flickr contact rosemary* posted this beautiful shot of momiji (Japanese maple) leaves with very nice circular bokeh.
Space web
My flickr contact Conall posted this amazing picture of a spider web with water droplets on it. Looks like a space shot to me.
Twig and bokeh
Flickr member h g posted this dreamy shot of a dying twig with some amazing bokeh behind it, shot with a Fuji X-T2 and a 100mm lens at f/1.0 (not sure what lens this is but that’s a very large aperture at 100mm).
Old birch tree
Macricostas Preserve, Washington, Connecticut.
We took a short walk up to Waramaug Rock and around the Macricostas loop trail. I knew I’d shot this tree before but I was inspired by an image I saw here on Flickr this morning from Fuzzy Messed Up Panda:

Mine doesn’t have the great bokeh his does but I gave it my best shot, so to speak.
Politics
My flickr contact Eugene Beckes took this great shot of two Stellar’s jays squawking at each other. Brilliant timing.
My father’s camera
My father served in the US Army during World War II and was stationed in Europe. This little Zeiss Ikon was the camera he used to record his everyday life over there and I have a box of prints that give me a glimpse of that life. My father is gone now but this camera and those prints act like a wormhole on that significant time in the history of his world and of our world.
Note: This was originally posted in 2006 on my old site, one of my earlier posts.
Water (bokeh)
My flickr contact Vidar took this picture with a Leica M9 and a Canon f/.095 prime lens (very fast).
The bokeh here from that fast lens is quite amazing and wonderful.
