I don't think a single thing is in focus in this photo, but there's something about a yellow school bus that is as autumnal to me as the changing leaves, and I like the way this photo portrays that.
Fact: I never rode a school bus growing up. I lived in NYC and walked or took public transportation (bus and subway) to school. I'm really curious what it's like to be on one of those buses. I'm almost envious of my girls' getting to ride them every day. I wonder if I convince one of the drivers to let me on some time.
I think these three uploads catch me up with my 365 project. Phew.
HBW!

I love it. I feel the same about buses -- but I rode them all my school years. they are something unique, that is for sure.

I never rode on a bus either, but in Utah you only get to be on the bus if you live far away.
Great shot! I love the bus bokeh!

Fantastic bokeh! I rode the bus and think of many time when it got cold that I would stall and miss it on purpose to get a car ride.

Fabulous bokeh indeed! There was a Picture Spring prompt about shooting with nothing in focus, which I thought was very difficult - this is perfect, though! So much gorgeous light and colours.

fabulous! i didn't ride a bus until 9th grade. we lived in a neighborhood behind the elementary and middle schools and were "walkers". we walked, rode our bikes or carpooled with the other neighborhood kids.

this is amazing. so much bokeh yet so much you can make out — perfect.
I used to walk to school too, I'd love to have had a bus when it rained though.
