Bokeh Wednesday Too 10/29/25

Stadium lights, interspersed with scoreboards and flashing signs makes for some nice lights.

Again, if you drink, DON'T DRIVE !

Nikon D700 1/500sec f/1.4 85 mm ISO 1000 -1 EV

View LARGE On Black

Not exactly the kind you see on the dinner table, but a close cousin.

If I remember correctly, this was the grave of some artist, a very modern statue with an unusual detail.

Xmas tree lights

The thin like of focus on this section of bark seems to have a tiny face in it, about 2/3 of the way down.

Midnight Bokeh

Tiger Longwing, Heliconius hecale - one of the butterflies in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo, seen on 10th May. Loved the colours in the bokeh : )

I'm going to absolutely collapse in a short while, with a mug of coffee and the sandwich I took with me today but never ate. A handful of us made a return visit today to Rod Handfield's property south west of the city, and we spent the whole day botanizing and mushrooming. Totally exhausted and I need some "lunch" and coffee. I think I am totally "mushroomed out" - it's a wonderful forest to explore and we found all sorts of interesting things. I'm filthy, tired and hungry .... and happy : )

Thanks, Art, for looking up the ID. I found it as Tiger Longwing, Heliconius hecale - it didn't mention "zuleika". Heliconius hecale is good enough, though.

This was a really foggy cold morning. Frozen drops on branch tips as the sun rose made a really nice bokeh effect. The horizontal white lines are fog droplets.
