Long day at work- its harder to enjoy the day because its so dark out, but I am hopeful for snow soon which will brighten everything up again.

I made a bokeh today. Bokeh comes from the Japanese word "Boke" meaning "blur". Basically its a cover you can make to add to your lens. You open up the aperture, and then the reflecting surfaces (like Christmas lights) take the shape of the opening in your cover. I discovered this idea yesterday, and did some research. Today, I bought some black cardstock paper and tried it. It worked! When its not so wet out, I am gonna take it downtown and see what kind of picture I can get. Here is my first round.
