A little Princess Bokeh

Man oh man am I enjoying having my DSLR back in my hands!  The weather here is beautiful.  What better reason do I have to get outside and take some pictures.  Though instead of taking pictures of kiddos, I ended up taking pictures of Avary's new princess dolls.  In doing so, I was trying to practice my bokeh shots.

Bokeh?  What is this?  Well until recently I didn't even know what bokeh was.  I had always referred to it as depth of field.  Here is how Wikipedia defines bokeh: Bokeh (derived from Japenese bokeaji ボケ味, "blur") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image.  I think of it as the out-of-focus area that creates a shape.

Here are two pictures from our little princess photo shoot that created bokeh.  

If you look in the background you will see circles in the tree and by the fence.  This is what I understand bokeh to be.  Have a great and wonderful day!
