Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018

I do love summer, especially at the cabin.  Seeing that Bruno is a lover of all things water, it’s no surprise that his July photos involve waiting to dock jump and dock jumping including some walking on water.  August and September saw the breakfast club, playing in the tennis courts and waiting for visitors. DeckContinue reading “Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018”

Agnes – rescue puppy in autumn

September saw us get a bit of an early start to fall on the prairies.  Although we were sad to see the end of summer, it did make for some colourful photos in Agnes’ project.  She also managed to shake on a deal, imitate a grey seal, and show just how wide she can openContinue reading “Agnes – rescue puppy in autumn”

26 Bridges – Buckwold and Remai

Last year the Remai Modern Art gallery opened in Saskatoon.  It’s an amazing building, with really cool architectural lines.  When I took a trip down to river landing just before labor day I was uncertain if I would taking photos of the Remai or the bridges.  Turned out that my favorite shot was one ofContinue reading “26 Bridges – Buckwold and Remai”

Agnes the Rescue Puppy – July 2018

July was a good month, with most of the photos outdoors at home or at the cabin.  Agnes is continuing to get more comfortable in her own skin.  She remains neurotic, but in a very cute and quirky way.  Much of her time is now spent squirrel or ball obsessed, as three of these fiveContinue reading “Agnes the Rescue Puppy – July 2018”

On Instagram – theDogWearsPantlers

In Rome I was convinced that I needed to be on Instagram. I did resist adding a media presence/commitment, but decided to join and now regularly post photos there.  Since not all photos make it on this web site the Instagram feed provides a more updated stream of dog and other photos. My handle isContinue reading “On Instagram – theDogWearsPantlers”

Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.

Hard to believe that 2017 is now over, and the weather that we had to end the year was chilly to say the understated least.  This also marks the last post of Eva the Brittany Spaniel’s monthly 2017 photography project. This November photo was a tribute shot, based on a lovely photo by Stefanie Timmermann. Continue reading “Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.”
