A Beary Christmas

I just have to embrace the soft blurriness because I took a shot with my macro lens still on. Of course by the time I switched to my zoom she was gone. In this mini heat wave, I am sure she will be back!

[Kay Hodges]

It's great with the fuzzy focus, sort of like vintage video reel footage!
