 Sorry about the subject. Guess it might as well be a flower. Things are not to great right about now and I have to coerce myself into shooting anything. I'm missing the joy....shooting was always a way to take me away from everything else. But now-a-days everything else is so daunting that the escape I once felt evades me. Sure hope this ends soon.

Please don't say there is no Bokeh in this. There is. It's not real pretty and I couldn't find a way to shoe horn in the pretty one. Not all fall is pretty, you know. I'll save the pretty one for my fall foliage shot, I guess. Who knows? Who cares?

There really isn't much here. I wish there were something here to add interest to the p hoto. I'm also not a big fan of the interesting parts of your subject fading to blur.

Really pretty but I think the bottom leaf needs to be tack sharp. :~)
