A lone leaf against a backdrop of Bluebell bokeh at Kingswood near Challock in Kent.
Still battling with those compression algorithms used by Flickr - some of the shadow detail in the bokeh is bleeding......
The base of the sign warning that walking out onto the breakwater structure was a thing done at my own risk.

A bit of a return to Flickr after having been far too busy with work to even pick up a camera for quite some time.
From my observations, come Wednesday, flickrians who choose to honor the bokeh day would mainly opt for flowers as their upload.
So then it leads to a question in my head; why flowers become popular subject to be associated with bokeh? One thing for certain, bokeh can appear in any images for that matter, not just flowers. And the irony is, more often than not, I myself would jump on the bandwagon with flowers for the HBW as well.
I have a theory to make: Flowers are popular because by nature they are mostly beautiful and largely regarded as icon for beauty. With the presence of the blurry effects in the background of an image that we call it as “bokeh”, it provides better contrasts for the in-focus flower in the foreground and thus, it distinctly manifests on its clarity and beauty. Or maybe due to other reasons only psychologists know best.
Frankly, I don’t quite have an answer to it.
Slightly more than a year ago when I first activated my flickr account, I was wondering over a strange word found in others’ photostreams. In the past many years of my life even in my English classes at the university level, I couldn’t recall stumbling upon such word as “bokeh”, let alone using it in my sentence. The only “bokeh” that I knew prior to this was a word in our localized dialect that means “to uproot”. For instance, “Bokeh pohon nyor”, means “to uproot a coconut tree” (An action where a coconut tree is deracinated or pulled out by the roots in an effort to conserve the tree and transfer it somewhere else – or to get rid of it totally)
Well, now I know another meaning of “bokeh”, thanks to Wikipedia for helping me with the meaning of it in photographic term.
HBW everyone!
I brought my long lens to Central Park looking for opportunities to create bokeh balls in the background. This squirrel scampered onto a rock near me and helpfully stopped in good light with tree leaves and the sky in the background.
More photos from Central Park are in my set

Made this shot during hiking along a route from the mountain stream "Starzlachklamm" at Winkel near Sonthofen, Allgäu, Germany, up to the top of the Mountain "Grünten"Germany. Wonderful mountain area with a huge variety of flora and fauna.

Yes, it was super wet and rainy the day I took this shot, but the rain make everything look shiny and awesome, so I didn't mind.
Shot at ISO 4000 but since the D800E is superb when it comes to reducing noise I had to add extra in NX2.
