“Constant kindness can accomplish much.  As the sun makes the ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.”

- Albert Schweitzer

This past weekend I awoke with the sun and deferred all housework in favor of crawling around in the snow searching for beautiful moments with my camera.  It was worth every frozen minute.

Snow glitter!

Here comes the sun…

I am enamored with bokeh!  In photography, bokeh means a blur or haze effect found in an out-of-focus area of an image.  The brilliance of bokeh is that reduces distractions and emphasizes the primary subject.  It happens by default versus design for me (photo below).  I wish I could provide a tutorial, but I am still trying to figure it out!   B e a u t i fu l!

Icicle kick line!  I love the separation from the source branch!

Bokeh magic.
