Lily bokeh

I think I like the bokeh (apart from the blown-out part at the top, ha) in this image just as much as I like the beautiful, opening Lily bud. Seen on September 22nd at the Reader Rock Garden.

We have sunshine and blue skies today and I know I need to get out to buy groceries and, if I can make myself do it, go and wash my car. It's so filthy (like all cars during the winter months), but I can't see through the windows and outside mirrors to safely do shoulder checks, which is not a good thing. Not even sure if it's Thursday or Friday today : ) Still have to sit down and write something to be read at my brother's funeral, before it's too late. Yesterday, a week since I first got the phone call about his death, it all seemed to really hit me hard, maybe because I was listening to and finalizing the music to be played, plus typing some difficult e-mails, and reading so many kind, supportive comments here on Flickr. Thank you all so much for your continuing support and thoughts! Please forgive me for not getting back to each of you individually to thank you. Those of you on Flickr who have gone through a very sad and difficult time will know the enormous difference this kind of outpouring makes - you just don't feel so alone, and saying "Thank You" just never feels enough.
