Bokeh | Southern KY Nature Photographer
Week 15 of my Project 52 is Bokeh. I love, love, love bokeh! Honestly, what photographer wouldn’t? I normally can’t stand dandelions because they are, after all, weeds. When I realized this week was bokeh, I instantly thought I wanted to get an image of a dandelion. Not at all …
