Christmas bling

One of my few poinsettia's today looking very festive. I do like them around the house at Christmas!

Three good things:
1. The smell of Christmas trees in the house.
2. I have got all my last minute stuff done today.
3. Cheer & chat in the hairdressers.

This is such a gorgeous shot! Magical bokeh! Well done, Pat!
Sounds like you are all set to welcome the Christmas season. All shopping and wrapping is checked off my list. Now focused on baking and cooking.

[Maggiemae]

Wow - you have got the best bokeh- gold! Do you remember how you did this? I see f1.8 and ISO of 1600! That's amazing! My camera won't do that. fav

@maggiemae oh I have no idea maggie, just took aim with my nifty fifty & pressed the button!
