Like this leaf I hope you are all still hanging in there during this testing time. Autumn tree at Te Awa Vineyard, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
The Canon EF70-200mm F/2.8L IS II USM is a fast lens, most used for wedding photography. Although it can't shoot like a macro lens; but I like to use it for close-up nature photos. You can capture a bit of 'wildlife' along with the beautiful blooms. Its 8-blade circular aperture delivers foreground/background blur quality that is renowned.
Here are some of my tips:
- Due to the weight of this lens and its focal length, the camera shake could reduce sharpness. Steady hand and holding your breath while shooting as I don't use tripod.
- Control depth of field as narrow as possible by setting the lens aperture to maximum, i.e. f/2.8.
- Position the subject closer or increase the distance between the subject and the background.
- Shooting in soft and warm light. Backlighting can really bring subjects with fine details to life and intensify the foreground/background bokeh.

The female black bear was coming down from a tree and got stuck hanging like this before she finally dropped down. So funny to watch!
I would like to give you all an update on Tug.
This photo was taken Saturday in our backyard after a snow storm.
Normally he would be running around and having a grand time.
I was just happy to see him up and moving, you can tell from his eyes he is not his usual ebullient self.
On Sunday when I let him out he actually trotted out the door and went into the woods which he wouldn’t do the day before.
He is eating well and on a Chinese herb called Yunnan Baiyao.
The herb is suppose to help stop internal bleeding.
For a dog who looked like he wasn’t going to make it though the night on Wednesday he is doing amazingly well.
He has licked his leg raw where it was shaved and the IV was and as a result if I am not watching him he needs to wear an Elizabethan Collar.
He is not happy about that so we have spent a lot of time just watching him hence not allowing much time for anything else.
We have had many dogs at our practice that were put on Yunnan Baiyao and have had quality of life for several months after the same diagnoses as Tug.
We will just have to hope he can be counted among them.
As long as he is eating and showing signs of happiness we will do what we can for him.
Tug’s big love in life is food and when Charlie came in the door with our traditional Saturday deli egg sandwiches Tug jumped up and kissed Della on the muzzle…you see the tradition is that the dogs get an egg sandwich to share too.
Yesterday afternoon when I came home for lunch I got a typical and noisy greeting from both Della and Tug.
It was so good to see and it put a big smile on my face.
We will take it one day at a time and be happy for each day.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and support.
We truly appreciate it.

This telephone pole in direction of the village is broken and hangs on the wire. Behind the pole - telephonewise - live only me and my neighbour. I tried to signal the damage at France Telekom. Long story. To make it short: I can only report it, when the wire is cut, else they don't care. I took this photograph at sunset just for documentation purpose.
There were lots of roses hanging from the fence and the façade of the house in my previous photo - this 'bouquet' looked great against the blue sky!
Captured in Niefern-Öschelbronn (Germany), but I've added it to my Brand album, as that was where we were going.
I had a lot of possible titles for this photo e.g. ‘How’s it Hanging’, but this is the least offensive, so I’ll go with it. You probably can’t tell from this perspective but this large, heavy pine branch is hanging directly over the left lane on a two way road. My concern is not that it will fall, because we know that it will, but who it will hit. It will crush the top of a vehicle and likely injure the occupants. The sad thing is that it has been hanging here for about two months. First it was green and then yellow and now brown and dead. It was dead when the road crews came through with the ‘Loose Gravel’ and ‘High Water’ Signs. It was here when the crews put tar and chips on all the back country roads and when they mowed the sides of the road. My question is does a county resident need to climb the tree with a chain saw to get it removed. Sorry, this is just another DOT rant. Have a nice Saturday my friends.
