Trinket.
Although obscenely overpriced. These cheap shiny things make quite nice bokeh. It’s a shame shop owners ban photography of their “work” (bulk buying for 1p/crate) by placing the official Piece of Paper with some ink on it.

Day 4: Dog Rose.
I was surprised to learn that this is a type of rose. I guess this is a wild species and the flower-shop roses we see today used to look something like this, before they were bred to look… well, nicer. Like in many of my macro shots, I like a blurry foreground as well as…

Day 2: Distorted.
It was an overcast day which was good for smooth, delicate macro shots. The bokeh here came out so deep that it’s almost dizzying to look at.
