Basketball to Bokeh

The other evening I was outside with my youngest playing basketball and taking some photos because the lighting was Amazing!!!!  I looked at this photo and (sorry Stephen) almost deleted it. I looked again and something caught my eye in the Holly tree back there. Sure enough I put the photo on my computer and to my surprise I had some really cool Bokeh going on. The more you stare at it, it becomes a Christmas tree with white lights.
Bokeh is a term used when aesthetic quality of the blur produced from a shot with a shallow depth of field.
Just wanted to share my glimmer of light's.

Pampas Grass

                                               I have a love affair for pampas grass.

                                             I love how the sun hit this one just right.

                        I love that when you look closely how they look curly and fuzzy almost.

                                  I love how one strand can be so beautiful all by itself.

                                                    Or how beautiful it is as a whole.

                                                                  At sunset

           Isn't it funny how one day you can walk past something without even knowing how truly
                                                            beautiful it really is.

                               And how another day you walk out and are stopped in your tracks,                                                                                 because it is glowing with beauty.
                                                                      

                                              Can people see Gods beauty in you?

Here we go again

After trying my hand in the blog world a few times and not being very successful, I realized that as long as my sister reads my blog post and enjoyed them, I was happy. Being about 700 miles from my sister and most of my family, this is a great way for her to see and read what is going on in my life. As well as it is for others. So Allison, I made this blog just for you! As others find their way here, I hope you will enjoy my passion for nature and my many natural light photos that you will see. I will also post many photos of dogs in need of their forever family's. You will read that the hair upon my head is only there because I bought it. I suffer from a disease called Alopecia. I have the worlds worst grammar, spelling and handwriting, but I love to write. I believe my writing is my own way of avoiding the high cost of professional therapy. I am a woman of faith, a mom of three. I teach four year old's at a Christian preschool and also do freelance writing and photography.  I live in the middle of town on a half acre lot, but I'm a country girl through and through. You will read of my love of Vermont and about my Gypsy soul that seems to have a real hard time accepting a forever home here in Virginia. I say things as I think them, and have been told I lack tact and seem to forget to use my filter.   ~I say I'm just keeping it real.
