Botanical Butterfly
The water droplets make the spots on the “wings” (and the “body”) of this wild lupin which echoes a butterfly in so many ways that it seems like it might just fly off…

Spring Blossoms and Not-so-subtle Stone

Shot in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, this shot sums itself up.
Bokeh!
Malcolm found this wonderful post about Bokeh! Pronunciation, Meaning and Practical Use from the excellent photographer Martin Bailey. It made us both laugh out loud, and it’s very much worth listening to. Not least that it might help everyone understand and pronounce bokeh better! (Do try and avoid calling people asshole, which, it seems, is what I’ve been doing!)
Speaking of which, I loves me some bokeh!

Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) shows his dance-floor moves!
I’m in love with the bokeh in this shot, thanks to the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
