Moss, or Fungus, taking over a small tree ! very odd looking, but nice to photograph. (sorry, this is macro and blur )

I think this could be a lichen, Sarah. Don't worry about the blur (bokeh), it's normal in a macro photo. The foreground details stand out very nicely indeed. :-)))

Hi Sarah,

Very nicely captured!!
Amelia is right, the background blur is normal, and in this case helps make the picture by removing attention from irrelevant items in the background.

Best Wishes
