Blurred...

Every now and then, Photo Friday has a theme that really speaks to me. Blurred. Seriously? I have too many choices! You know how much I love taking blurry abstract photos. And an opportunity to post one? I will never miss that!

Ike is coming!

Ladies and Gentleman!

You may know that the hurricane Ike is coming to Texas.

It is expected to land somewhere near Galveston. On Friday night. I live in Austin and we are expecting rain on Saturday.

Houston airport is closed this weekend. So I had to move my trip out. Instead of leaving Saturday, we are leaving on Monday.

But that is not a very big deal to me. My heart simply goes out to all the people who are affected by this. Imagine having to evacuate. Not knowing what your home will look like when you return. Best wishes to all those in the path of Ike.

Blur

Embrace the blur!

Before I had a digital auto-focus camera, I spent years trying to take pictures with perfect focus. Crystal clear.

But now I have a nice digital camera with auto-focus. I can close my eyes and take photos. The results are perfect.

So I 've been playing around. Being a little rebellious. I'm making some mistakes but it is fun to experiment. I've even been thinking about buying a lens called lensbabies which gives you a lot more control to blurring.

I've taken some blurry pictures on purpose or accidentally and am using them on my blog. So far, no nasty comments.

What do you think? Hate the blur? Use it occasionally? Never use it?
