fo-cus (ˈfō-kəs) --v. concentrate: direct one's attention on something.

Have you ever tried to fully focus on something, only to have your focus stolen by some obstinate or cantankerous distraction which left you cussing, even though you're not one who normally cusses?
   
That's happened to me.

I've not picked up my camera for a month and although I was really starting to miss the dailies, almost everything outside has been pretty drab looking with all the insect damage and old brown growth of late summer.  I've been itching to take some photos but just couldn't find anything inspiring to shoot.  Then, almost like clockwork, this little guy came walking up while I was eating dinner tonight and paused long enough for me to get a few shots out the front door.  So Kris (K Dunlap) this one is for you.  It only took me 3 months more than expected, but I finally managed a few pictures of spots. : )

The original crop was a horizontal, and not all that interesting, so I added the faux reflection using software.  I've fiddled with it too long now to make a honest judgment about how convincing it is, so feel free to let me know if it doesn't work.

(btw, thanks to all of you who've sent little pokes and emails.  I'll get caught up with all of you eventually.)

Same bunch as last week, shot at roughly the same angle and time of day, but with a totally different look.  I don't know if this bunch will make it through another session.  : )

I also updated yesterday's shot with an answer.  Dirkster guessed correctly.
