Introducing Henry

Domestic animals are not usually what we photograph, our preference is for the wild variety and the challenges they bring. But last weekend the macro lens was out to make a record of the first 'Karina Eloise' rose of the year, when Henry showed up. He's the youngest of our three cats, something of a loveable rogue and quite vocal when he wants attention. So to keep the peace, I fired off a few frames and came up with this 'butter wouldn't melt' image.

For those interested in things horticultural, the Karina Eloise rose is a delicately scented red floribunda that was grown and named in memory of Rose's daughter, who passed away in 2003.
