339/365: Sunrise Bokeh Explosion
Project 365
Sunday • December 5, 2010
Just a little bit of sliding rendered a taupe colored pond into a beautiful blue pond! The sunrise just out of frame 'exploded' across the pond so brilliantly (that part really happened)!! And the worm laid out on the ground (safely out of goose range) to get this shot through the dried out weeds (it was also about 20°)!!
I am so sorry I haven't been by to comment the last couple of days ... I did get a few in before my router failed yesterday. Ran out and bought a new one ... and now the connection is as slow as molasses, keeps timing out ... dropping the connection, etc. I post a comment and it just sits there spinning endlessly ... So if any of my comments look weird or are repeated, that is why! If I can't troubleshoot this today; I am going to return the router and get a different brand. Computers are awesome ... when they are working! Been trying to post this since early morning ...
Happy Slider and Happy Worms-eye View Sunday!! :D

So so gorgeous!! The tiny leaves sillhouetted against the pond are beautiful. I think this one was perfectly slid! I hope your computer issues are fixed.... I have sort of a love hate relationship with technology. Mostly love, but there are definitely moments of hate ;-) I was having the same problem with the spinning comment over the weekend, do you think it could be an issue with flickr? Seems to be going better today...keeping my fingers crossed! HSS!

From looking at the thumbnail my first thought was "what a gorgeous flame!" But from a closer look this image became even more beautiful ! The sunrise reflections on the pond with the combination of the stunning golden blue tones are just slidingly amazing! Not to mention these awesome weeds silhouettes :)
Good luck with the web connection.
HSS and HWVS, T!

Wowzers!! I see Alien life in the killa bokeh!! Lovin' that pretty grass-one of my favorite subjects-and then you have them posing in front of the gorgeous blue pond?! Mmmm....nice. Sorry to hear about your computer funk!

Sorry about your computer troubles...I think they just don't want us to get too comfortable. I know for sure every time I note that I didn't have any problems for a while, something happens. With a maximum delay of one day!
But I am glad you managed to upload this shot (in spite of all your internet's evil plotting)! It is beyond gorgeous and bokeh explosion is spectacular, no question. But my favorite part is these weeds in the foreground...so fragile and exquisite! LOVE!
Oh, and HSS! :-))

Sometimes it takes a while for a new router/connection to warm up. I had to change providers recently and it took a good four days to get back to normal service.
Lovely shot - such great colours brought out in the pp. HSS and HWEVS

Looks like the seed pod is spewing a volcanic magnitude of magma. Awesome slider. Hope your router problems are over soon, we have all grown dependent on your mavrelous posts and comments. HSS!

And at least you have a good excuse for not commenting. I am just busy and overwhelmed. I'm doing what I can.

Wow, this is so pretty! The light is gorgeous and I love the silohuettes and bokeh. :)

Don't worry about the comments - getting your picture online takes care of it all - we know you've not been buried in that Illinois snow we've been reading about!
This is gorgeous, slid to perfection, and so warm and inviting that it's hard to believe your little worm was braving 20F to get the shot! HSS! HWEVS!

Magnificent. A far cry from the beaches and warm fences that seem just yesterday, but are quickly becoming a far season ago. This is the perfect beautiful combination of a cold day and the perfect warming effect of the rising sun. And the delicacy of that silhouette is like beadwork. No two days are ever the same around your stream and I am endlessly amazed by your discoveries lady!
Zimmergimmer (30 months ago | reply)
Well now T, sorry to hear about your connection problems. It's a complete bummer when they go wrong like that. Especially when you have something this good to share with us.
So glad it got here in the end and it really is a cracker. Love that bokeh and fair play to you......getting up for sunrise is admirable. Mad, but admirable.

Well, I love the look of that light floating across the water. Makes you feel like you could just walk across the light being held up by nothing but bokeh. And your new found colors make this pop in true Pixelmama fashion. Well done. Sorry about the PC blues. Sure it's the router and not the DSL modem? Or a line problem?. I've had external line problems three times in the last couple of months. Good luck.
