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 – Give Thanks. October 2018
A little bit of a catch-up post for Agnes’s project shots from October. This month saw an opportunity to give thanks, a fall buffet, a brief imprisonment and even a meme.

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”
Agnes – A Good Sign. August 2019
August was another good month for Agnes as most of the photos at the cabin. That has to be a good sign of a good life. All 4 of her project photos this month include dogversations.

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.

Agnes the Rescue Puppy – June 2018
June saw a mix of cabin and house time for Agnes and the rest of our crew.

Bruno – April to June 2018
Bruno continues loving life and everything that it has to offer. These three months saw some computer work, cheerios, a return of summer, cabin time, dock jumping and road trips.

Agnes the rescue puppy – May 2018
May was another good month for Agnes the rescue puppy. From sharing peanut butter at home to three fun weekends at the cabin. She is living the life.

Agnes – April 2018
This year April started with the winter that would not end, but by the end of the month we were playing bocce in that back yard. Agnes keeps getting better about being a model, including coming out for solo walks and photo sessions.

Agnes – March 2018
Agnes’s March photos saw us have a family health scare, some persisting snowfalls and eventually a visit from the Agnes bunny at Easter.

She recovered quickly so it was fortunately only a bump in theContinue reading “Agnes – March 2018”
Eva the Brittany Spaniel – January to March 2018
I’m doing another monthly photo project with Eva in 2018. A cold start with several winter photos to begin the year. A Little Chilly Eva in the back yard.

Bruno – January to March 2018
2018 will see another monthly project for Bruno, our delightful golden retriever. This will be a relatively low key project with somewhere between one to three photos per month.

Bruno’s Project – December 2017 – Golden retriever at Christmas
Bruno and Christmas. Two things that I love, which are even better when combined together. December marks the end of his weekly photo project, and most of the images do have a Christmas theme to them.

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.”
Agnes’ Project – November & December – Rescue puppy living the good life

Bruno’s Project – September 2017
Bruno’s September photos were a bit of an odd assortment. Working on the computer, resting, hanging with the Playmobil crew and an absentee shot while the humans were away on vacation.

Agnes’ Project – July & August 2017
Little rescue puppy continues to adapt and fit into our family. She is quirky, but her sweet and cuddly nature is starting to show too. She even did well camping in a tent with everyone at the cabin.

Bruno (and frankly all of us in our family) continued to live the good summer life in August. Lots more time at the lake, and even a solar eclipse to boot.

Bruno’s Project – July 2017 Summer Cabin Fun
All of Bruno’s July photos were taken at the cabin, leading the good life. Summer at the cabin is amazing, especially when you’re with a golden retriever. It really was a great July.
