I'm trying to guess which of your "ladies" created such a nice bubble bokeh... 200mm?

You are indeed spot on... the “Gorgeous Lady” (Pentax-A* 200mm F2.8 ED) herself.

One nice thing about the cool, slow spring we are having in NC is that the blooms are staying on the flowers for longer. I have been shooting this clump for nine days now. SMC Takumar, 105mm f2.8, stopped down to f5.6, heavily cropped, levels adjusted, light unsharp mask, scaled to suit the web.

9 days is a pretty long exposure

There was a varmint (live) trap behind this flower that I was hoping to get a type of square bokeh from the screen. Just picked up the larger wire of the opening and corners.

SMC-K 50mm f1.4 at f1.4

After all these lovely blossoms I think it's time for a bit of rebar bokeh

Spent a couple of hours this evening taking pictures of this vase of azalea blossoms as the light faded and the streetlights came on in a light rain. I used a flashlight to illuminate the blossoms for manual focus, then long exposure at wide aperture to get the shot. SMC Takumar 55mm f/2 at f/2.8, 1.3 seconds.
