Well, since I have not ventured out and purchased a high end digital camera, I have been trying all sorts of things with my point and shoot camera. I have yet to try portrait mode to see how that works for DOF (Thanks Cy), but here is what I was able to get using the macro mode on the camera.
I am hoping to play around a little more this weekend and will update my post later...
Thanks Cy for a great challenge, makes me go back and think about the basics of photography again and how to take control of my camera...
Additional Pictures...
I borrowed a DSLR camera for the weekend and had loads of fun getting more pictures and playing around with DOF. Here are a couple of them that I thought were amazing...

Good job Carl. Keep it up and you'll get to know the camera better. I never found a manual for your camera, but some to the reserach I did indicated there was a manual mode on your camera. It so, there are probably things you can adjust for different effects.

I have played with the manual mode on the camera, but they are just exposure (ISO, Compensation, etc) and not shutter speed and F stop. The only shutter speed control I have is for time exposure and night exposure modes... Just a nice quick pocket camera without a lot of bells and whistles, but it takes such great pictures I can't orphan it just yet. *GRIN*
Carl, I think you did a really great job. I blew up the picture and in doing so you can really see that you captured some great DOF. And what a neat idea to use a ruler.
I just see you added a few more pictures, they look fantastic. I really like the one with the lichen on the rock. They are all great.
Uh, oh.... now what happens that you got to use a DSLR? What did you use? I still think you showed us a fantastic example of DOF with your point and shoot! Very good job. It goes to show that it isn't always the camera but rather the photographer using his creativity.
I used an Olympus E-500 for the weekend; it was a lot of fun. Taking pictures has always been one of my favorite things to do and have always challenged myself to use my equipment to its fullest potential. Now I am finding myself needed new equipment to challenge me...
I too liked seeing your DOF's. Do you have any idea the settings you used on the DSLR?

I apologize for not including the exposure information with the pictures. I have added that to the post, I know that will help out tremendously for those who are still learning.
I shot the last three in Aperture Priority (A) program mode on the camera and had a distance to the subject of about 3-4 feet.
The first one I shot in Macro mode with a flash, to get the DOF effect.
