Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. Carrying a box of human hair extensions, it looks to me like she is the 'wig shop' store owner from up the alleyway. Enjoy!

For Flickr Friday's Theme #DepthOfField

I managed to kneel down to take a closer look at the morning dew, embracing the flare of a sunbeam on a green nest.

In the 1940's hit song, A String of Pearls played by Glenn Miller's FABULOUS band, ( composed by Jerry Gray, lyrics by Eddie De Lange) the pearls referred to are a sort of stop gap gift to a lady awaiting a Wedding Ring!

"Every pearl's a star above'

Wrapped in dreams and filled with love,

That old string of pearls a-la Wool Worths!"

My pearls are NOT Woolworths, but they're not real either. They ARE, however filled with love and so, I placed them on a bed of pale, elegant sequins and shot with a shallow DOF to give them a dreamy look! Hope it works for you!! Love the pearls. Love the piece of music!!

"Writer of my symphony, play with me

Look into my eyes and see

People walk away but never say goodbye

Someone stole the moon tonight, took my light

Everything is black and white

Who's the fool who told you boys don't cry?

Hours and hours, empowers

Life is no game, but it's ours

While the time goes wild

Every day, I'm losin' my mind

Holdin' on in this mysterious ride

Dancin' in the storm, I got nothin' to hide

Take it all and leave the world behind

Baby, promise me you'll hold me again

I'm still broken from this hurricane

This hurricane

Living in a fantasy, ecstasy

Everything is meant to be

We shall pass, but love will never die."

Taken with Helios 44M-4 58mm f2

Like my last image, I was a little nervous as he was rather energetic and I was trying not to be a bother.

Sorry,but I just love these tiny butterflies.

We only have azaleas in bloom for a very short time here in East Texas. Springtime here is lovely to see but the pollen is killer.

The Canon 50mm f/1.4 does create a creamy, buttery smooth bokeh.
