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”

I was very pleased to have this photo selected as the Cottage Life magazine “Life at the Cabin” first place winner for their 2018 photo contest.

Eva the Brittany Spaniel – April to June 2018

Eva’s project for the second quarter of 2018 was pretty low key.  A photo of her dog bling, Handing out in the kitchen, riding the paddle board and catching some zzz’s while either consolidating or making memories.  She does lead a good life.

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.

Cottage Life Calendar – Northern Lights at Emma Lake

In 2016 I entered a few photographs in the Cottage Life photography contest and unfortunately none were selected as winners.  Then this summer I received an email asking if they could use my photo of the norther lights in the 2018 calendar, which I of course quickly agreed to.  When they send out a fewContinue reading “Cottage Life Calendar – Northern Lights at Emma Lake”

Eva’s project – July and August. Brittany Spaniel in the summer

Almost all of Eva’s July and August photo project was done at the cottage.  This even included a good view of the partial eclipse, which was more awe-inspiring for humans than dogs.  A good life for a Brittany Spaniel in the summer. Neither Ducks nor Geese This first photo is why we can’t fully trustContinue reading “Eva’s project – July and August. Brittany Spaniel in the summer”

Bruno’s Project – August 2017

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. The Golden Seal Week 31 “the golden seal” was just Bruno living the life he loves and swimming with his toy at the cabin. Continue reading “Bruno’s Project – August 2017”

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. Reflecting Week 26’s photo “reflecting”was a bit of a random shot.  Multiple other ideas had failed, but when I came back fromContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – July 2017 Summer Cabin Fun”

Bruno’s Project – June 2017

June saw the serious start of cabin season, which is Bruno’s favorite season by far.  It also saw a visit form a land shark, the muffin man, the lazy Canuck and a flying retriever. Little Land Shark Week 22’s photo “little land shark” was him playing with Agnes on the deck of the cabin, blurringContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – June 2017”

The cottage is a big part of our life, and I love the time that we spend there every year.   Since before we bought a cabin I’ve been subscribing to Cottage Life magazine.  They run a nice photo contest every year, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have some of my photos published inContinue reading “cottage life photo contest entries”
