It’s early January and warm in Northern California. It was 69 degrees fahrenheit in the shade on the patio at 3:00 PM this afternoon. Weird! This is a “Nifty Fifty” bokeh shot of my clothes drying on the clothes line.
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. 1/400 second at f/2.8, ISO 100.

It’s an overcast, chilly day here in the northern San Francisco Bay Area and I’m hanging out at the homestead. For photo fun, I took advantage of the subdued afternoon light and grabbed this close-up of one of our wintered bean poles.

Early this year I posted a couple of close-up images of the well winterized Job’s Tears plants we had growing in the yard. This year’s plants were especially nice, and catching them before the winter rains set in makes for cleaner looking seed pods and dry leaves. The pods are commonly used as beads.

Maggie recently scored a sweet, faux fur/suede jacket off eBay. She had cleaned it today and had it hanging on the clothesline to air out. Since the sun had already passed over the horizon by the time I got home, I put the “Nifty Fifty” on my camera, set it to f/1.8, and took some shots–faux fun.
