I started playing with bokeh last Christmas – did I have fun or what! Christmas lights are the perfect subject for bokeh so what was I going to do to capture it in the summer? Well, at first it was mostly accidental but when I would see it in my photos I would try to recreate the settings.

I just loooove bokeh so I’m joining in on the fun over at Live Every Moment where Friday’s theme is . . . you guessed it . . . yum bokeh! I can’t wait to see what everyone else has done.
Just one more . . . I’m a scrapbooker at heart so here’s the layout I created about my favourite bokeh shot this year.

Oh boy I just love every one of these. We get an awful lot of rain here during the summer and I think rather than complain I should be out there capturing the bokeh from the raindrops just like you. Thankyou for the inspiration :)
