L.E.N.S. Challenge – all about bokeh

This weeks L.E.N.S. Challenge is -all about bokeh. What is bokeh? Bokeh is basically when you focus on an object and have a blurry background.
The pictures below are from this past spring when everything was in bloom.

This is a picture of a cherry tree blossom. (the kind that does not produce fruit, at least that is what I was told it was. lol!) To get this shot, I stood directly underneath the bloom and looked right at it. The background is of the above branches and leaves and the sunny blue sky. I just loved the pretty pink blossoms!

This picture was taken in my neighbor’s yard. As you can tell the butterfly is sitting on an azalea bush. The background was more azaleas in her yard.
Be sure to check out L.E.N.S. Challenge at Home Is Where You Start From. There are going to a lot of awesome “bokeh” pictures to look at!

Blackberry Picking
As you drive up the road we live on, you can see blackberry bushes. So, for the past week or so, my kids would say, “Can we go pick some blackberries??” Well, today was the day. They were so excited! We grabbed our popcorn buckets, and walked just a ways down the road.
Samuel is trying to be careful not to get a thorn in his fingers.
Claire decided she was going to put leaves and rocks in her bucket.
Samuel and Claire are being careful to not squish the soft ones between their fingers.
The grass was a little too tall, so Claire was trying to be careful to not get too far in the grass.
Samuel is very careful to only pick the “black” ones.
What yummy goodness is on those bushes!!
Samuel and Claire declared after about an hour that we had plenty for a blackberry cobbler and headed for home. Now I just need to find a great blackberry cobbler recipe!! Does anyone have one they want to share??
