No Running, Please


I was all excited about doing my first Bokeh Thursday challenge in a long time. The plan was to set up a vase of flowers by the pool with the Jacuzzi in the background all decked out in its best bokeh. With a solid plan, I set out to take the shot.

I ran to the bedroom, snatched the camera, flew down the hall, slid into the kitchen and slung open the sliding door. Then I ran passed the Rock Rose, grabbed some blooms, jumped down the steps, raced around to the other side of the pool when I realized I forgot the vase. I skidded to a stop, tripped on a rock, the camera flew, I went down, knocked myself out and apparently the camera took this photo as it landed on a cactus next to me. And that is how I got my Bokeh Thursday Challenge Still Life shot for this week. Anybody got any ice?

View on black or I'll chuck the Rock Rose with no blooms left at you.
