... the title is a reference to Pink Floyd's 'San Tropez'
Captured the serenity of this stunning orchard, where each blossom feels like a work of art. The shallow depth of field, thanks to a wide aperture, draws your eye to the delicate details in the foreground, while the soft bokeh in the background adds a dreamy, tranquil atmosphere. A moment of pure natural beauty, perfectly frozen in time.
Tiddles has finally started curling up on my lap. I never dreamed she would ever be brave enough to do that!
A ray of sunshine, the Ranunculus flower, a.k.a buttercup, is a mostly perennial flowering plant whose shiny and cup-like shape gave rise, supposedly, to its nickname buttercup. A buttercup’s sparkling light also needs the sun to be high in the sky, so May is the best time of year for the flowers.
I remember as a child being told that if you hold a fresh buttercup flower under one’s chin and if a yellow reflection from the flower's shiny petals can be seen under the chin, the person is said to "like butter". This custom is still taught to young children and shows how buttercup petals reflect light.

I layed in the snakey grass even though I didn't want to lol.
Todays the last day of Spring break. :( Back to real life tomorrow.
Only about a month until I get a Summer break, I can make it!
Light reflects on the water behind this fishing net found on a pier in Alabama. I chose this for Depth of Field week because of its extreme bokeh.
If you're around my age you may remember the song 'San Francisco', which was written by John Phillips (of the Mamas and Papas) and sung by Scott McKenzie. Apologies if you now find yourself singing it.
"If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there..."
Oh dear, did I just make it worse? Oops. :)

Still life with spring blossom, coffee cup and home-made rain. The shot is heavily influenced by the work of Bangladeshi photographer Ashraful Arefin- who can be found here on Flickr. Of course, it's not a patch on anything he does...but I keep learning.
