i think i default to tiny f-stops partly out of necessity, since my little camera doesn't do low light. and it certainly doesn't hurt that smallish f-stops breed instant bokeh, and my heart is one big soft spot for that blurry deliciousness.**
in case you don't have time to be a photography fanatic and we lost you at 'wide open,' here's a quick primer: small f-stop = wide aperture = shallow depth of field = lots of bokeh. i don't actually get it either.
but here we go, a (brief) world tour of wide open apertures:
in switzerland (2009)
and hungary (2010)
and my exotic very own backyard (this morning)
**[sidenote: so this is the one beautiful thing about wretched eyesight. remove one's glasses, and voila. bokeh everywhere.]

oh my! the dew on those blades of grass are stunning! great job!
I always love your photos. All of them. But the dew drop is just jaw-dropping.
love the dew drop.... perfect.
I too have wonderful bokeh upon removing my contacts/glasses.... although not one thing is in focus unless it is 2 in from my nose!
Holy crap, those are great shots.
These are all wonderful...but that last one just jumped out at me. Love it. Great job.
WOW!
Yeah, this is how I would have to describe my eyesight to someone who doesn't know what it's like to not see anything in focus more than 4 inches from your nose.
Thank you for sharing these! Inspiring!
I must learn how to do that. Too lovely.
yes, deliciousness!! some of the most interesting photography. dew drops/water clinging to grass rarely looks so beautiful! btw, how do you get to travel so? thanks.
These are just beautiful! You have awonderful eye!
Amazing i love the single dew drop1
I love the shots of your yard! I'm usually not up early enough to see the dew ;)
These are so amazing!
I love shallow depth of field, too. I always stumble upon it mostly by accident, since I wouldn't know an f-stop if it bit my hiney.
I also love thunderstorms, and I think you may know of my love for grey...
I'm so stalkerish, huh?
To make matters slightly worse - you made a cameo in my dream last night. You tricked me into listening to a sales pitch for something akin to Pampered Chef and I kept thinking..."I can't believe she tricked me!"
;)
Gorgeous photos...
i too love nutella, but have never had it on an apple, sounds yummy.
beautiful shots!!
Love how you explained terrible eyesight...I will have to share that one with my hubby.
Oh gorgeous shots girl. You have such an amazing eye for making ordinary objects stunning both in prose and in pictures. You certainly inspire. Xx Jen
Stunning!
I so know what you mean about removing ones glasses...thanks for the laugh!
Your photography is beautiful!
Gorgy!
