I implemented something similar when I was playing around on a personal page. It's built by Jekyll and inlines a base64 version of the jpeg with a CSS blur filter, then lazyloads the real image and transitions it in via opacity 0->1. You can see it in action here: https://www.road-beers.com/

I noticed that it only inlines the base64 for the first pictures/"above the fold", and then loads the rest async. Clever.

Cool!
