Bokeh Tuesday
The Little Things – TLT020
Columbus Botanical Garden

During the Daylily Festival Saturday, as people started to accumulate, I took the opportunity to walk the path through the woods to the Camellia Garden. I know the time had passed for most of the blossoms in that area but the tree cover would help shelter me from the sun, and I didn’t expect to see very many people (I was right!). I have a habit of telling new photographers I speak with to remember to look up. There is a tendency to always look straight ahead for your next image.

As I wandered the paths through the Camellia garden, especially the unpaved paths, I found I need to amend my statement above to include looking down. Which, if you think about it, is rather funny considering how much I use my macro lens and crawl all over the ground getting those close-ups of flowers. Maybe it was due to the recent rains but the ground was covered in an assortment of fungi. Not my usual subjects, but I fought my complacency and explored one little stem highlighted by a small beam of sunlight streaking through the tree cover.
