Buckthorn Bokeh

The sky today was nothing but grey (until after sunrise) so I took out the lantern and did my normal shot with the city/suburb lights in the background.  And, because I've done it a dozen times, I got some decent shots.  But after the first edit, the pics that made the cut came up right next to this shot from yesterday.  I decided I like the buckthorn bokeh better than the city-lights bokeh. 

The morning Sun shines through the buckthorn bushes starting to leaf out at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.
