For "Looking close... on Friday!" the theme: "Bokeh Only".

I had fun playing with this theme... trying to make a photo of my little elephant made of blue and white beads standing on shiny green paper, both in bokeh.

This is the result, not completely satisfied though.

I wish I had had a Helios lens for this challenge (really love that bokeh, it gives), but I haven't... I guess that's life, isn't it?......dealing with what you got and still be happy and keep having dreams ;-))

Have a lovely start of your weekend and a very happy Friday ^_^

Bokeh in winter light.

I found this haiku by Xenia Tran to go along with this image:

"quick to slip

in and out of every dream

winter sun"

Take care all !

Sometimes there is only bokeh and no subject. I keep these odd findings in a special folder. Today's theme for the group Looking close on Friday inspired me to share.
