June 25 - Backyard Bubbles and Bokeh.

Back to playing with my bubbles. My fascination with bubbles recently is not a fascination at all. While I do find the colors and reflections captivating, I am actually trying to come up with something suitable for the current Dgrin Challenge called "Circle or Square". There are a lot of good entries in the challenge already, so I was aiming for something cool. This is the best out of this morning's batch, so I very well may end up going with this.

For those that may not know, bokeh is the term used to describe the spherical aberrations that are created in the out of focus area of a photo.
