The power of bokeh

Each year, we are lucky enough to have a trip down south of the city to just north east of Nanton, to visit Jim Coutts and his wonderful homestead and gardens. My favourite thing to see there is his incredible Poppy garden. This is yet another photo I took while soaking up all the beauty.

Later: this morning, the sun was shining and sky was blue and the forecast was for sun, so I decided to drive out westwards to Kananaskis, along Highway 22X. Hadn't gone all that far when a Cold Front moved in and the sky turned grey and it rained and didn't stop until after I got back home about three hours later! A total waste of an afternoon, except that I did get to see some beautiful fall colours, though they just don't look the same in pouring rain and low light : ) A lot of leaves are already coming off the trees, so I really hope the colours will last for at least a little while longer.
