Weekly Photo Challenge – Focus
I usually delete the photos that are not in focus. I’m glad I didn’t have time to delete them all. Now some of the unfocused photos have their value.
At the end of last winter, before most of the flowers bloomed in my garden, I worried that no bees would be there to pollinate my plum tree. To my surprise, the bees swarmed over the clovers behind the retaining wall near the plum tree. I was so excited and took a lot of photos of the bees. Many photos were in nice focus on the clover flowers and bees. Since I had to zoom in quite a bit, sometimes my hand was not holding the camera still, and the flowers were unfocused.
It’s delightful to have many butterflies in my backyard. Most of them are yellow. There was a different butterfly flew in last week. It had different color. I took a few photos. The first one was in focus on the butterfly. The second one, the butterfly was out of focus.

There is something very special and completely unknowable about an out of focus shot. You’ve shown the beauty in them quite nicely. Thank you for sharing these. Gave me something to think about. 🙂

Yes, I know at least when we’re having some unpleasant thoughts, giving too much focus on them doesn’t help. Remove our focus on something else, let the unpleasant things get blurry, it might even reduce the pain. Focus on something else, when you’re ready, or situation comes by, we can focus on it again. That’s what I do!
