lump

Just a lump of snow on the side of the road. I was struck by how pristine it appeared when compared to the usual roadside plow leavings. That and it reminded me of a moment in time:

I was watching a NASCAR race a few years ago, and during the race a portion of the track was sucked up by the downforce on a car. Dale Jr. promptly ran into it and destroyed the front of his car. During the interview after the fact the ever so erudite Mr. Earnhardt was asked what he saw. He said he was just driving along and saw the portion of track leap out of the ground in front of him. He said "...it was about the size of a big ol' chunk of lead...". I laughed until I stopped.

 

This is also the first image from my new 200-500mm lens. I wanted to see how the bokeh would turn out. Hopefully some more interesting subject matter will pop up in the near future.

 

How does one pronounce "bokeh" anyway? Bowkay, bookay, boka, boke, background, Priscilla...? I've read the term but never heard anyone use it in conversation.
