This whole post is a great metaphor for life Elk! :o)
With you being out of focus is no bad thing ... you turn it into such a delight :-)
I love the blur!
Love..love..love the softness and blurr!!!
Everything is blurry right now as I don't have my contacts in yet! LOL!
You found a great deal there!
To me a blurred photo is just that a blur. But when put in context like you have here it becomes a story and a thing of beauty. It sets a mood and becomes something one can relate to.
Oh so many moments in my life are out of focus. But eventually they'll become brilliant and sharp. Ahah!
the soft edges work here. especially love the first one - you've created a peaceful, moment with softness instead of a rushed moment with blur.
A few weeks ago I was very cross when lens cleaner got into the camera. (Surely, this shouldn't be possible?) Then I went out and took photos through the 'mist' - and some of the results were really interesting.
An irrestistable glow in the first photo.

beautiful shots ELK - your words are always so beautiful too
i absolutely love the last shot... just something about it...
Beautiful pots and a 75 cent pitcher, wow!
I spent some time today to go back, way back in your blog. Enjoyed my time. Thanks
lost in daydreams
i love the 'out-of-focus' .... leaves you with a feeling, rather than a visualization. i have to play with that! :)
{the pitcher is pretty pretty, too!}
Perfect for the way I've been feeling of late.
you do out of focus so well -- they look like paintings! Beautiful!
all in perspective of one's eyes !
Amazing how we can take some seemingly ordinary day to day item and makes something beautiful and thought provoking out of it well done.
Love your soft blur!
Lovely post!
beautiful!
I am very fond of out-of-focus-ness :)
a parallel of moments . . . love it! i found the out of focus challenge a bit difficult. i just wasn't happy with any of the photos i took. yours -- i love!
I enjoy the small treasures of life as well. Some of the tiniest things can be so important.
i'm also drawn to those small things, moments. what's valuable has everything to do with perception, looking, seeing. shards more than pottery, reflections more than objects...
"an out of focus morning," I love that. I've been having lots of those lately...
I am so enjoying this post and your images...creative and lovely!
yep. just as i thought. i LOVE these photos. especially the first and last. gorgeous, elk.
Your out of focus shots are so dreamy and other worldly Elk, almost like being shown a glimpse of a magical world...
love it!! :)
stoneware hold such a special place in my heart. you bring it. every time.
Simply wonderful!...and I love your 75 cent pitcher!
