accidental bokeh

I was so excited today when I discovered the first daffodil bloom! 


Then, tonight, when I downloaded the pictures to my computer I discovered the ever illusive effect I've only ever dreamed of catching in one of my photos...bokeh!





Not eye catching, Wow!, bokeh...but bokeh nonetheless. 
This is exciting for a wannabe photographer like me!
It's the little things in life that make me smile, indeed.

    The daffodils are beautifully captured! I was out yesterday and ours are but tiny green shoots just starting to make their way up through the ground. Now, after seeing these photos, I am even more anxious for their appearance.

    So jealous you have flowers already! And thanks for teaching me a new photography term. Your shots are beautiful and really bring through the ethereal quality of this beautiful but too-soon-fading daffodil.

#TransformationTuesday

"But God has surely listened and has heard my prayer."  Psalm 66:19 As one who has struggled with weight all of my life, seeing the ups and downs in jean sizes became my reality.  I would lose some pounds only to face a stressor in life and see them return and bring friends along for the ride.  I spent years believing lies, yet secretly hoping for a better reality.  Lies that I am not capable of overcoming my sweet tooth and that I am just not the workout type, topped the list.  I have never really lacked self esteem or self confidence; I know who I am.  However, I know from personal experience, others define me by what they first see.  Having been a plus-size lady for years, I was treated differently, intentionally or not, when I dropped pounds.

3 in 30 Check In: Minor Technicalities

Having a great month...getting things accomplished and finding myself excited that the newness of 2011 hasn't worn off yet is so awesome. Closets are all cleaned out but mine...getting to the last one of six feels great and I cannot wait to rummage through it. As for making it to the Y three times...thanks to our ice and a minor back injury , that hasn't happened, but I have a chance tomorrow and Saturday to make it there at least twice this week.  So looking forward to it, even if I walk a little funny getting there. And, there are plans in the making of a new endeavor for me to use a newly acquired skill to bless others.  Baby steps of hope in the right direction. And, I've had a chance to think ahead to next month's goals...can't wait!  Thank you, God, for a wonderful week!
