(+4 insets!) Right now Steve is driving home after spending the morning with the folks who have our RV trailer! :D We put a down payment on it today and will be bringing it back home in the next week or so. Can you say excited? AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! There are no words to adequately describe how we feel! This is something we've been dreaming about for years and it's taken such a long time to get to this point. Now that we're here we can hardly believe that this next chapter of our lives is going to begin! I will certainly be keeping everyone up to date on our developing plans! I went out this morning with the hopes to get some frosty images but the sun melted the scenes as I arrived. I realized also that I wasn't really in the mood to take pictures. However, just as I was turning to go back to the house I decided to roll a log over to see what there. I discovered some extremely tiny fungus and one of them had a droplet of water on top like a tiny ice cream cone! Today I also took pictures for tomorrow's Macro Monday theme, which is "stamps." However, before I did that, I made myself a cup of espresso with cream and I couldn't resist taking pictures! So, today's main picture is my lovely cup of coffee, photographed in one of our double-walled cups. I'm also including an inset of the yummy espresso crema-and-cream on top, another version with extreme contrast filtering and also the neat little fungus I found with the droplet on top! Finally, today was so pretty with edge-lit clouds on a gloriously sunny afternoon that I'm including a panorama of that too! :) Pam, I looked up "mushrooms" on your photo stream since I was having fun taking pictures of itty-bitty ones today and discovered a wonderful collage you made of a group you'd found . It's just fantastic and a total delight to appreciate! Here's hoping the warm and sunny mood here is the same for you today! *BIG HUGS*!! Explored on 3/04/19, highest placement, #6.

4 more pictures in notes above! Here's my second submission for Bokeh Thursday ! This is where the other 25% of my liquid comes from every day: espresso latte coffee, one in the morning, and one in the late afternoon! I took a picture of the latte foam through a glass mug. Actually, I was so busy taking pictures after Steve made my coffee that by the time I began taking pictures, the thick foam had melted most of the way, but I loved the way the bubbles looked on the side of the glass! I had a lot of fun fooling around with filters and this one was the craziest looking so I made it the main image. You'll see above that there are 4 other versions! I really wanted to do some crazy artistic filters but these images are supposed to be about bokeh, and turning them into artistic filtered pieces would remove any sense of bokeh so I resisted...but they really looked cool! :D (I don't know if the top one is my favorite--I think they are all neat, so let me know if you have a favorite, I'd love to hear your opinion!!) :D
