Apple Hill was too crowded for my taste, so nifty-fifty to the rescue. Isolate on a child's hand and a llama's nose and hope the bokeh people don't mind a photographer near their knees.

I'm standing
on the edge of a precipice and
the ground under my feet
is burning
your steps
and my cheeks
are burning
and then you touch
my arms
are burning
and you kiss again
my lips
are burning until red-hot
after that you touch
differently
and I'm burning
wholly
some day
I know
I won't rise from the ashes
FlickrFriday: Hand tools. For photography, I like any object at home that can be turned into a cool macro, or bokeh.
Our Daily Challenge: Brush(es)
Compositionally Challenged: Reflections week - the brush is a reflection, everything that is 'real' is blurred and turned into bokeh. :-)

A pair of giant hands rising from the water have been unveiled on Venice's Grand Canal — a sculpture by contemporary artist Lorenzo Quinn intended to highlight the devastation of climate change.
The artwork, titled Support, shows two huge hands emerging from the canal to "support" the historic Ca' Sagredo Hotel in such a way that they appear to be preventing the 14th-century building from sinking into the water.
But the hands can also be seen as powerful enough to dismantle and drag down the building, should they choose to — a dual representation intended to represent the power of human beings "to love, to hate, to create, to destroy," Quinn said.
"At once, the sculpture has both a noble air as well as an alarming one … the hands symbolise tools that can both destroy the world, but also have the capacity to save it," a statement on his website reads.
Support was unveiled to coincide with the opening of the 2017 Venice Biennale, a major art show held in locations across the city.
But the choice of city was intentional for Quinn.
Earlier this year scientists warned that Venice could disappear underwater within a century if sea levels continue to rise.
"The work generates an instinctive and immediate understanding of the environmental impact for places such as Venice," the statement reads.
Had no intention of uploading this to flickr as there are several things that I'm not happy with, the rings in particular (which, for me are a little distracting). But this place is more a sketchbook than a portfolio, it's more fun that way :)
