When the background matters more.

There is a very strange correlation between the amount of free time I have and the amount of stuff that I manage to do finish in that time frame. The less I have to do, the less gets done anyway.
Procrastination should be my middle name...

Also the more time I have given the more it takes to pick photos or topic for the next post. A bit like "use the all the hours to the fullest! Choosing photos..." 🤦.

So that's my Sunday. Wasting it (without getting wasted) like a champ!
How was yours? :)

Those were taken in Poland one early summer day. And I know the subject of those first photos might not be super attractive, but I figured it doesn't really matter if all I want is to catch the bokeh. I just need something. Anything to focus on.
Even though dry grasses, seed pods, faded flowers were always one of my favorite subject, they are not the star here.

The Bokeh is. And that comes from one and only - Mr Helios 40-2. He is a champ too!

Few steps away some blue spruce tree (or alike) almost poked me in the eye.
So I shot it too :)

Ha! You are not alone in this experience... In some places this misuse of time is referred to as Parkinsons Law (wikipedia) which originally was an observation on bureaucracy. It can be simplified to essentially "the more time you have to do a task, the longer it takes to complete it".

In other words if you have 5 hours to clean to the house, it will take you 5 hours to do it. If you only have a deadline of 30 minutes you can do it in 30 minutes.

Lovely pictures by the way ;-)

"Any task takes up the allotted amount of time "-- I used to refer to this law, explicited with this formula. cheers!
