Thanks, Lorell.
I like your oranges photo. If the colors are more intense than realistic, I'm fine with that. It makes for a striking image, maybe one that fits your interpretation of the scene better than a purely "accurate" one would.
MFI, I thought Blue Bottle Fly as soon as I saw it. And a little quick research suggests that's exactly what it is. I find its colors beautiful; just wish it was facing the camera.
Grant, my comments above aren't meant to denigrate your subtly adjusted image. Both Lorell's and your versions are excellent. And I, for one, appreciation your willingness to analyze our photos and take the time to show how you would adjust them.
About my foot pain:
My first walk was a bit of an ordeal - couldn't put any pressure on the big toe. But as the yesterday progressed, it started feeling a bit better. The ache appears to have moved more towards the ball of my foot and fortunately isn't as intense as it was at first. We'll see what today brings. I appreciate the responses about what might be wrong. I too thought of gout, and at my next routine check-in with my doctor I'll ask her what she thinks.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
