Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Bokeh
This week for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, Sofia Alves invited us to look at bokeh in photography. The following is her discussion.
“What is bokeh? We all have seen this effect; we have photos of it. The term bokeh was first used to distinguish normal motion blur from the blur obtained when things are out of focus. It literally means blur in Japanese. The Nikon website, after a more complex and technical explanation, reduces it to simply this: ‘bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus blur in a photograph’”.
My newest photo today would do the job.
This is my first caterpillar of the year. I saw a Monarch flying around a few weeks ago but didn’t expect to have caterpillars soon. This little guy is early. Basically, my milkweed from last year is not grown yet. I bought two pots with one in a good shape, enough to feed one caterpillar. After this little guy, I’ll wait until summer to raise more butterflies.

A lovely picture, Miriam. I saw a caterpillar that is fairly similar to this on one of my mom’s plants. Unfortunately, there were several and they have killed the plant.

Thanks, Robbie. I wonder if your mom’s plant is milkweed which is the only caterpillar food. Caterpillars eat milkweed down to the stem. I saved the stems of several plants from last year and they’re growing back.
