I had been doing some pretty colorful pieces, so I thought it would be good to focus on light and shadow for a change. This is a closeup photograph of an orange rose, but I took away all the color except for the water droplets.

For this image I was figuring how to get depth of field in Vue.

I took this picture of my cat, Dusky, while he was hiding in a paper bag getting ready to pounce on my mom's cat, Pearl. This is a common expression on his face! He's very energetic and he loves to haress poor Pearlie.
