A couple of days late. The first is another from Bernice:
Which called to mind this image of mine from several years ago.
I actually used that as the cover image on a New Year's card. Hand-colored.
I may do this again -- looking at what Bernice has sent me, there are a couple of images that parallel some of mine.
Update: Bernice tells me that my image is a good example of bokeh, a Japanese term that denotes the practice of using depth of field and the blurring of the portion of the image outside the range of sharp focus as a compositional device. It's something I've been doing for a long time, particularly in landscapes and close-up studies like this. I didn't even know it had a name.
