I'm really starting to become a fan of blurring repetitive objects in the foreground.

Mother's Day Flowers

I got out this morning, after a lovely breakfast prepared by my husband and daughter, and took these shots in my garden.  It had rained the night before, so the flowers had droplets of water on them, still.  I mostly enjoyed shooting in Aperture Priority, with shallow depth of field.

Flower Pot in Morning Sun

Right before leaving for work the sun began to hit the flower pots on our patio - this is one of the shots I caught.  Would have been nice had it been a more full flower but they haven't reached their full glory yet.
