The words for this week are:
and
Heart
So this week I learned that Bokeh at it's most basic is an in focus foreground and a blurry background. At it's finest it is a blur of points of light in the background. And to be done properly one really needs a special lens, which lil' ol' me surely does not own. However, I went back through my archives and found a few photos I think qualify as very amateur attempts at creating Bokeh. And at the time I didn't even realize that's what I was doing. Well, I knew I wanted a depth of field, but I had no idea what it was called. Who says you can't teach an old dog? Damn and now I'm the dog again. I gotta stop doing that!
Bokeh(ish)

The other word? SO EASY!
My Heart belongs to these goofs.

Love the Eagle capture. I'm right there with you not having lenses and having to look up terms. Great job.

I esp. like your flower bokeh -- that one is bokeh "at its best!" And that is a terrific shot of the eagle.
Someday I hope to have a camera that lets me play with these sorts of things. (Mine is an inexpensive digital... 2 of them, now.) But first I have to get a couple of kids through college!
Your heart picture is terrific.
Thank you for your kind words and your prayers.

The kids are cute, but the flower is definitely bokeh!

The third and fourth shot are most definitely bokeh, and very well done at that. I love your "heart" picture too. Great job this week.
