For these first two I used my 200mm lens. As you can see it creates such nice bokeh. I did a comparison between a 200, 100 and 50mm lens here last year and the difference in bokeh was very noticeable. I was actually waiting for the hummingbird to show up when I took this shot. He loves this flower.
I didn't have any luck with him returning so I had to resort to taking a photo of the grass. At least the light was pretty. :)
Here's just one more because I'm feeling a little festive. As I'm writing we're about to go out to eat to celebrate Gary's birthday which reminded me of this shot from last year...
