What beautiful photos, dear friend @ewkaw, it is evident that you have the right equipment for your shots.
Little by little I am learning the language of photographs, this terminology (bokeh) was completely unknown to me, now I know that it is a way to blur around what we want to highlight
All the shots are great, and to be honest I don't dislike the swirl around the cat at all.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid night
Oh yea, bokeh is one the cool things in photography and good to know. Glad I could pass some knowledge :)
