Flower at Denver Botanic Gardens... which should be obvious given that they are so botanical and gardeny, no?

Don't be stunned.. an intruder hasn't taken over my photostream... yes, it's a picture of a flower...
I will be buying a fixed 50mm lens sometime this summer, but I thought I'd try my hand for the first time at some Bokeh even with a zoom lens and really no practice or knowledge... I'm happy with about 25 or so out of my seemingly endless attempts and will be posting them this month on a daily basis... I look forward to roaming through the Photostreams of many of my contacts who are so good at flowers and bokeh shots that my attempts will seem as if they were shot by Stephen Hawking... and learning perhaps some of their "secrets" :)
But someone once told me their photos were like their children, and they didn't want to get rid of their early shots so they could see how far they've come (lord knows my early HDR shots make me bleed from my eyes) and I agree with that statement wholeheartedly...
So here you go Flickr, Flowers by TVGuy... warts and all...

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah. [reads the card] Get well soon?
Abby: They didn't have a card that said "Sorry I almost sent you to prison" at the flower shop...

Yes, to the uninitiated it's just a bench... but 3 Januarys ago I asked TVGal to marry me on this bench as we were the only people in the Gardens for the Blossoms of Light that night thanks to a very kind Security Guard who let us in and lit the whole place up for us.. my plan was to do it the last day of the Lights but snow that morning closed the Gardens.. after hearing my story on the phone he agreed to be the "ticket taker" that night... TVGal's nieces came by in two minute intervals.. the first spreading rose petals in the snow, the second bringing a basket of cocoa and champagne, the third a basket with the ring... a very nice night...
So, not really "just a bench".. thanks for indulging me...

Suddenly people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown up. We get taller, We get older. But do we ever really grow up?... In some ways we grow up. We have families. We get married. Divorced. But for the most part, we still have the same problems that we had when we were 15. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling. Forever wondering. Forever young....
