Dailies May - Dec 09
Most every thing I post is SOC with little post processing and I work with the light available at the time (and since I don't do early most of the time it is mid-day bright light). I will try to remember to let you know if I have cropped or tweeked.

Saturday 11-7-09 Fishing in my files again.
Thought we were going to have to go to the ER last night but we didn't - Praise you Father. Lisa is still in a great deal of pain but is doing well.
I got out for a few minutes today to go to the PO and pick up a sandwich for us - it was such a beautiful day and I was really wishing I had my camera but another day.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments and your prayers.
Hope you are all well and blessed today.

opps almost forgot - I tweeked the b&c and cropped.
![Friday 11-6-09 - Home and Lisa is doing well. The doctor said the surgery went well and he was very pleased. The humira has done a good job of healing. Lisa is in a great deal of pain but otherwise doing great.<br />

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes.<br />

Later update - Ha - I have been wanting to do this for ages. I finally looked up the word bokeh. It has only been 8 months and I have had a little big going on but when I saw Sunday's childs comment I just did it. I learned something today!! I have a great lens, I could not do this on purpose if my life depended on it.<br />
<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />
In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the æsthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— "good" or "bad" bokeh, respective. Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.<br />
<br />
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights, as blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.<br />
<br />
<br />
The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.<br />
<br />
The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the March/April 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying "it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable". Bokeh replaced the previous spelling boke that had been in use at least since 1996, when Merklinger had also suggested "or Bokeh if you prefer.<br />
<br />
The term bokeh has appeared in photography books at least since 1998. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈboʊkə/ (boke-uh).](https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Dailies-May-Dec-09/i-3S5d9Vf/4/4340b48d/Ti/091-Ti.jpg)
