4 more pictures in notes! :D You can also find me on Facebook ! Sometimes I just cannot resist a juicy challenge! A few weeks ago I was invited to a really fun new group here on ipernity called "Bokeh Thursday" . There are lots of theme groups out there to help motivate, inspire, educate and entertain members, but this one was a group I thought I could actually participate in while being committed to my 365 Project, since most of my pictures are all about bokeh! To make things more interesting, there is a new theme every week. This week's theme was the letter "T"--anything that starts with T could be your subject. I actually had a hard time getting to sleep last night as I lay in bed thinking about subjects I could photograph that started with T... texture... turtle... thread... television... tool... toy... turkey... the list grew in my mind until I suddenly remembered what's in full bloom outside and screaming for me to photograph it...TEASEL!!! And...TAR WEED!! And then, when I woke up this morning and happily immersed myself taking pictures, I got pictures of bumble bees sticking their long TONGUES out...and I found THORNS and THISTLE... lol... this main picture showed me another thing to go with teasel... TWIRL! I finally had to pull myself back into the house by my ear (how do I do that, anyway?!) or I'd still be out there taking pictures of TREES and the TABLE ROCKS (huge, beautiful plateau formation visible from our home)...and groupings of TWO and THREE or even TEN! Oh brother... I ended up processing five pictures in all and I hope you enjoy my Bokeh Thursday submissions! By the way, our group would LOVE to have new members--if this group sounds like fun, please come and join us!! :) Jose Rene "J. R."
