For the past few years here in our gardens in Grimsby, Ontario, we have planted Zinnias as they not only look nice, but also attract butterflies, particularly Monarchs in their Fall migration. Here I captured one of the Monarchs on a pink Zinnia, all set against a field of Bokeh from out-of-focus plants and flowers further back in the scene. The use of a long lense aided significantly in getting the level of Bokeh I wanted, and a bit of moving around gave me background colours that I felt fit well with the Monarch’s colouring. - JW

Playing with foreground bokeh in this photo. My SOOC approach to "texture." At least I'm entertaining myself. I know, I know. Bogart looks a bit sad here. He really doesn't have to be glum. After all, Bogart's labs came back today. Remember, we switched his food from his renal diet to regular food two weeks ago. Bogart's last creatinine on his renal diet was 1.6, quite normal. Well, the question at hand is whether he would remain in the normal range once back on regular food. Guess what? He didn't just remain in the normal range; his creatinine dropped. Bogart's creatinine today was 1.3. How beautiful is that? No reason to go back on renal food. . . now that's a marvelous reason to smile.
Furthermore, Miss Raven's results are relatively stable. Her last creatinine was 2.4. She's now at 2.5. My vet sees no reason to take her off her BaRF diet at this time. We will recheck her creatinine again in 3 to 6 months, sooner if her health is worsening. I trust this cuddly, purring mass on my lap will be around for quite a long time. Wouldn't that be fabulous. . .
