It's A Party And You're Invited

You know how it goes...you read one blog and then you learn about another, and another, then another.  It goes on forever!  Well, that's how I found Tracy's blog.  I thought I'd link up to her bokeh party today.

I must admit, I haven't always loved bokeh like I do now.  Photography styles have changed  since I first started in high school, so maybe that's why, I really don't know.  Nonetheless, I could not live without my 50mm lens!  I love to make my suject(s) pop against that blurry background.

Here are a few of my faves from the last several months:

                      Oh, how time flies.  I taught this young lady in sunday school when she was 12.

             This glowing mommy-to-be grew up in my neighborhood and was expecting her first baby.

                       My son on his 14th birthday, being shy and not wanting to look at the camera.

My daughter, being shy, like her brother.  It's a family thing.

                   Had to be quick with the shutter release to get her actually looking at me.  GOOD GRIEF, she looks JUST like me!!!

I didn't blur this one too much, just enough.
