365.18 It’s a LensBaby, baby!

Had Christmas with Momma today, and got exactly what I asked for: a LensBaby Muse with a plastic optic… Can you say ‘Bokeh?’ Wow. The little toy is sure hard to focus, but wow! is it ever fun to play around with! I’m looking forward to getting lots more use out of the Muse. (And …
