Gorgeous. Love the light filtered from behind. Bokeh background is perfect backdrop. Scale is wonderful. Thanks for the glimpse into your current distraction. Don't forget to clean under your nails!

I like the backlighting to this, and the dof.
You have been busy. There's nothing like fresh produce. We can't water our plants anymore (water restrictions) so have had to give up on plants that need it. I wish you a happy and prolific harvest.

Great! Busy time in our garden too, but we are a bit behind you in weather and work. We generally wait until Mother's Day to put in the annuals and plant the veggies. That's today so I better get busy. Had to fence in the raised vegetable bed to keep the dog out. Planted a few more trees. I'll have to rip out some herbs (bronze fennel, mint) that have really taken over in a few places (when Patty's not looking of course.)

But this is about your photo... Wonderful DOF and lighting. And of course it has impact for me as it reminds me of my duties and sends me outside.

Don't find sweeties like this on a table often. The colors and softness make this a very pretty and appealing (to the heartstrings) shot. 7

What a great shot of these things - and HUGE congrats on the ribbon!! And I'm betting your family actually quite enjoys your little side trips and stops, probably more than you realize.

This is pretty cool! I think the highlight is the house in the background. I get the feeling you are trying to spy on someone. Are you an undercover agent??

This composition is nearly perfect! I'd take out the smidge of blue bottom right. Other than that, the bokeh and framing are ideal. What a lovely focus and light!

That looks like a blue primrose. Is there such a thing? It's so pretty.
