This photograph makes a point about life. It illustrates how when we focus too closely on one thing in life, the rest of life often becomes a blur. Focusing ourselves in the "here and now" is a good thing, but giving attention to one thing and excluding everything else can be perilous. In this photograph's case, a sharp close-up focus produces a beautiful bokeh blur in the background. Best seen in large size view.
A cooling image on a hot day. It's still too hot here, but I find these colours very soothing. Yesterday was supposed to be the hottest day and I very much hope that's true. I'm afraid I find the heat, and especially the humidity, very draining. I can't wait for 'normal' temperatures to return. Remind me I said that when I'm moaning about rain, cold, etc etc. :)
Alameda Central is a public municipal park in downtown Mexico City, adjacent to the Palacio de Bellas Artes, between Juarez Avenue and Hidalgo Avenue. Apparently the oldest park in the Americas dating back to the 16th Century. Lovely light in the afternoon.

I don't know what the beach locker rule is, but I think people that hit the Ohio Street Beach a lot, just put their lock on the fence when they are done (so it won't be removed by the parks dept.) I don't know, I've never seen them in use and am not going to bother to look it up. 😎😁

Our cool, rainy Spring has lots of benefits - most important is that every drop of rain helps as we teeter on the edge of a lingering drought which started last year. Another is that everything is staying in bloom longer. We still have tulips, daffodils, bluebells, grape hyacinths and flowering trees (crabapples, weeping cherries, magnolias, serviceberries, redbuds, maples...) etc., all still in bloom. Amazing. 🌸🌷🌼
First of all, thanks for stopping by. Please do consider the following:

3. If you decide to follow me, please only if you like my pics and you want to see more of them. Otherwise it makes no sense for both of us.
This shot was taken out of hand with my Sony A7II and the Meyer-Optik Trioplan 2.8/100 (vintage)

Apologies for re-working yet another image, but I'm not finding a great deal of time for photography at the moment.
That precious time I do get, was eroded away completely yesterday, because it was spent in A&E..
Our cat, aka Smasher, (yes the big one about to hunt down my son a few images back in my stream) decided to claw my daughters eye.. Long story, she bent down to pick a toy up and apparently he went for her hair and missed.. She's fine and no apparent damage to her eye.. However, most of yesterday was spent getting it checked out..
As we say goodbye to the autumn leaves up here in Chicago, here's a beautiful shallow depth of field photo of an early autumn leaf, captured by photographer Robin Taylor. Robin used a Tamron SP 90mm f/2.5 macro lens mounted on his Fujifilm XT1 with our Nikon to Fuji X lens adapter.

Or have I been reading too much of Agatha Christie? Such pretty plants and flowers when in full bloom. Are they truly poisonous?
"Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a poisonous plant that is possibly fatal if ingested by humans, cats, dogs and horses. The poisonous ingredient in foxglove is cardio glycosides, which can cause a heart attack."
Dame Agatha was correct!
(nota bene: for those who find shallow depth of field irritating, I will try to learn how to focus stack.)
Still giving my head a chance to recover from trying to get cozy with concrete pavement ;)

The dogwood trees are still blooming, throughout the valley, with their delicate clouds of floating petals. These were in Stanley Park in Westfield, MA last night. 🌸🌸
I found this little blue hiding on my hard drive and decided to set it free :) The sunshine is out here today, which feels amazing, though we're a long way from butterfly season yet.
