Today is Thursday and that means it's BOKEH THURSDAY!!! The theme for this week is "square", so I decided to take macros of some tiny crystal, metal, and enamel square beads that I have. I placed them on my iPad for a reflective surface and used my macro flash to get lots of shine. I settled on three different arrangements to share--this one even has a square format!--and I also got a nice one of some colorful wooden beads I have! ENJOY!!

Today also marks the first day of August, and that starts another month in my 365 Project! I've included a collage of my month today as well! :)

By the way, if you enjoy taking pictures with bokeh in them, you might be interested in this group. Lots of very nice people and we would love to have more join in the fun! Bokeh Thursday

I put my star on your third arrangement, which is IMHO the best compo with the strong diagonal from lower left. Greets Lutz
