Short Pump, Virginia

Short Pump Town Center

Ashley, above, saw my camera and asked how photographers create images where the foreground is in focus and the background is not — she wants to try that with her camera — I shot a few frames and showed her. 

It is a blustery day with Arctic air streaming out of the north. Water from the Short Pump Town Center fountain swirls in the gusts and freezes as it falls.
