This is a lovely Wedding Anniversary Gift I got more than two months ago. One of the buds finally bloomed more than a week ago. I just couldn't resist capturing this special moment.

Ps: this is SOOC. The new bloom looked greenish for the first few days before turning white.

Did some editing to make it look timeless.

Timeless sea breezes, that for aeons have blown ancient rocks,

you are purest space coming from afar… (Rainer M. Rilke)

Sea breezes that for aeons have blown ancients rocks, you are the purest space coming from afar...(Maria Rilke)

 

Meeresbrisen, die seit Äonen uralte Felsen wehen lassen, du bist der reinste Raum, der von weitem kommt…

 

Brisas marinas que desde hace eones han soplado rocas ancestrales, eres el espacio más puro que viene de lejos...

 

Les brises de mer qui, depuis des éons, ont soufflé d'anciens rochers, vous êtes l'espace le plus pur venant de loin..

In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image. Bokeh has also been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects. Some lens designs blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce distracting or unpleasant blurring (good and bokeh, respectively). Photographers may deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions, accentuating their lens's bokeh.

 

Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field.

 

The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means blur or haze, or boke-aji (ボケ味), the blur quality. This is derived as a noun form of the verb bokeru, which is written in several ways, with additional meanings and nuances: 暈ける refers to being blurry, hazy or out-of-focus, whereas the 惚ける and 呆ける spellings refer to being mentally hazy, befuddled, childish, senile, or playing stupid. Jisaboke (時差ボケ) (literally, time difference fog) is the term for jet lag. Nebokeru (寝ぼける ) is a verb denoting the actions or condition of someone who is half-asleep, or nodding off. Tobokeru means playing dumb, and toboketa kao refers to a poker face. The related term bokashi (暈かし) means intentional blurring or gradation; that is a noun form of the transitive verb bokasu 暈す which means to make something blurry, rather than to be blurry.

 

The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the May/June 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable. The spellings bokeh and boke have both been in use since at least 1996, when Merklinger had suggested or Bokeh if you prefer. The term bokeh has appeared in photography books as early as 1998. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə.

Taken in the grounds of Butterfly World, St Albans. I was there yesterday with my granddaughters. There are lots of old relics in the gardens & the robin seems to appreciate them.

"Let me tell you something ..

Goodness in man does not die when he does evil..no.

Everyone kills the one they love, listen carefully to what I say...

Someone with a bitter look,

someone with a flattering word.

Coward with a kiss,

brave with a sword.

Someone kills a loved one when they are young,

someone when they are old.

Someone strangles him with hands of desire,

someone with hands of gold...

merciful kills with a knife,

because the dead body cools down quickly.

Someone loves too little,

someone too much,

someone buys

and someone sells.

Someone sheds a tear while killing,

and someone doesn't flinch...

Because everyone kills the one they love,

but it doesn't kill everyone. "

The old fishing stages of Newfoundland live on through many generations. This one was captured in Morton's Harbour, a place where time stands still. I asked that seagull to pose there for me.

And in time, we are grown

The time of distress...

Every falling leaf reminds me that I too will soon be separated from these trees

Chaque feuille qui tombe me rappelle que moi aussi je serai bientôt séparé de ces arbres

-

Ogni foglia che cade mi ricorda che anch'io sarò presto separato da questi alberi

I am a mechanical watch enthusiast. This beautiful ANKER watch is an heirloom. Not particularly valuable; it also goes after approx. 40–50 years old

 

Ich bin Liebhaber mechanischer Armbanduhren. Diese schöne ANKER Uhr ist ein Erbstück. Nicht besonders wertvoll; sie geht auch nach ca. 40–50 Jahren noch sehr genau.

 

Thank you very much for your likes and the nice comments!
