Earth laughs in flowers 
Gorgeous. There’s a variegated bougainvillea on my dog walk route but it’s a green/yellow combo. This is so lovely with the white bokeh.
Yes the bokeh came out really well on this shot.
I was conned! Where’s my flower? 🙂 🙂 No, seriously, it’s beautiful, Jude. I thought it might be a Thursday’s Special at first glance.
Enjoy your Cornish Easter! 🙂 Sending hugs!
I agree with Jo, Jude!!
And THAT doesn’t happen every day 🙂 🙂
Waddya mean, Jo? 😀
🙂
Thank you I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, happy Easter Jude 🙂
So unusual and really lovely. I also didn’t know they came with variegated leaves. 🙂
Now this looks like something I could grow, or at least wouldn’t kill with my greenless thumb on first sight.
Nah! I don’t believe you, Sue 🙂 🙂
True story. Not a plant in my house.
I meant I didn’t believe you could grow this one either, Sue. Just me being rude 🙂
Haha you couldn’t be rude if you tried. 🙂
You should see the face I’m pulling at you! 😦
Good try but no luck. No rude face there. 🙂
Erm… they do like a somewhat tropical atmosphere. I’m afraid to say it, but Jo could be right 😉
This is lovely – I haven’t seen a variegated hibiscus before.
It’s like a painting – splashed leaves beautifully captured
I love the spots in the blurred background.
The technical term is ‘bokeh’ and yes, I agree with you, partly the reason why I like this shot so much. To achieve that ‘perfect’ blurred background.
And how did you do it?
A lot of it depends on the lens, this new camera and lenses are much better at blurring the background. The circles are simply out of focus points of light in the background. I think I was using the prime lens (45mm) on this day as it is very fast and I wanted it for the lightshow later on.
