Picture Perfect - "Bokeh"

The theme this week is a use of the technique called "bokeh". It's where you have a sharply focused subject with blurred, dreamy like backgrounds.

I caught this one at Dawes Aboretum with my Minolta "film" SLR.

I don't have any exif info... I guess I should start recording that, huh?
