Little Worlds DSC_7532

"So many worlds

So much to do

So little done

Such things to be" Tennessee Williams

 

I was searching for somewhere to practice using my dad’s old Helios lens.

 

I climbed through the bushes in the back garden and shot back out into the yard through the Indigofera plant. The willowy branches looked like out of focus dancers, to my eye, creating a miniature jungle world.

 

Just for a moment I was transported out of the tedium of sameness (Stage 4 Lockdown) to somewhere my imagination could play.

 

I photographed what I could see but the lens turned into something other, another little world in my own backyard.

 

 

I combined a second image throwing the flowers completely out of focus to achieve that hanging pink, grape-like bokeh.
