Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: bokeh thursday

Here is my contribution for Square/Cube! :D 4 more pictures in notes above! :) You can also find me on Facebook ! Today is Thursday and that means it's BOKEH THURSDAY!!! The theme for this week is "square", so I decided to take macros of some tiny crystal, metal, and enamel square beads that I have. I placed them on my iPad for a reflective surface and used my macro flash to get lots of shine. I settled on three different arrangements to share--this one even has a square format!--and I also got a nice one of some colorful wooden beads I have! ENJOY!! Today also marks the first day of August, and that starts another month in my 365 Project! I've included a collage of my month today as well! :) By the way, if you enjoy taking pictures with bokeh in them, you might be interested in this group. Lots of very nice people and we would love to have more join in the fun! Bokeh Thursday Courtney Milan's debut novel was published in 2010.

I think this is my favorite because it's nicely balanced with lots of pretty bokeh shimmer!

This one has such a beautiful amethyst-colored crystal bead, I like the skewed perspective and interesting abstract quality. Believe it or not, the green crystal beads are the same size and shape as the amethyst one! They are only about 1/8" in size! :D

These wooden beads are 1/2" squares and meant to be strung onto sisal strands (a natural rope fiber) and used as a chewable toy for our parrot! The blocks are colored with vegetable food dye so they are non-toxic! :)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! Today has been a blur and I'm running as fast as I can! This image is in response to an invitation to a new group on ipernity called Bokeh Thursday, and the theme this week was "Clothespin". I wanted to try something different than what I've seen in the past, so I tried stacking a few and putting some sparkly tinsel in the background to add some colorful bokeh in addition to the bokeh of the clothespin itself! I hope you like it! In about 30 minutes, Steve and I will be leaving to go take firework pictures, but I won't be back soon enough to put one up for my 365, which is why I'm in such a rush to get this done before we leave! :D Emile Cioran (8 April 1911 – 20 June 1995) was a Romanian philosopher and essayist.
