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”

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. Smelling the Daisy Agnes at the cabin enjoying one of the simple pleasures of life. Can’t believe how far sheContinue reading “Agnes – A Good Sign. August 2019”

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”

Agnes the Rescue Puppy – June 2018

June saw a mix of cabin and house time for Agnes and the rest of our crew.  Somehow all of the photos from June made her look very relaxed and chill as she has definitely made herself at home with our family. Duck on the Driveway We had a few days of rain resulting inContinue reading “Agnes the Rescue Puppy – June 2018”

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. The Peanut Butter Collider The end of the peanut butter jar. Usually a problem when you have three dogs, unless you upgrade to the ridiculously large CostcoContinue reading “Agnes the rescue puppy – May 2018”

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. Our Version of Spring Spring tried to come, then got pushed backContinue reading “Agnes – April 2018”

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. A bump in the road March started with a fright as we had an emergency hospitalization for my daughter Julia.  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. We got a big dumping of snow the other day which made for a nice photo background, but Eva was quite annoyed that we left herContinue reading “Eva the Brittany Spaniel – January to March 2018”

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.  For the first quarter of the project he was a bed hog, a dog hanging out at the table, the homework helper, and the Easter Brunny.Continue reading “Bruno – January to March 2018”

Agnes – February 2018

The second month of Agnes’s project and she is already getting more comfortable in front of the camera.  This week saw waiting for the kids, her dog bling, prancing in the park and a spontaneous guitar concert with Daniel. Waiting for the Kids This is the typical scene in our house every day starting aboutContinue reading “Agnes – February 2018”

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. Bright Idea His first December photo had Bruno getting literally wrapped up in the Christmas spirit. He really doesContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – December 2017 – Golden retriever at Christmas”

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.”

Bruno’s Project – October 2017 – Golden Retriever in autumn

October in Bruno’s project saw lots of autumn colours and cuddles for the big guy.  He does love the cool fall weather.   Fall Portrait This photo is of Bruno having a good old fashioned lie down in the park. In his defense it was a three minute walk to this spot and a coupleContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – October 2017 – Golden Retriever in autumn”

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. Post Haste His first photo September photo “post haste” was taken while he recovered from a game of chase with Agnes. Dave: Wow, BrunoContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – September 2017”

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”

Eva’s Project – May & June 2017

Eva’s project in May and June saw a random collection of mainly spontaneous photos.  Sad to admit that there was no master plan here, just taking photos for the fun of it. She is however a lovely dog and always ready to do photos with me The Catcher Her first photo of May “the catcher”Continue reading “Eva’s Project – May & June 2017”

Agnes’ project – May and June 2017

Agnes is the newest member of our house, and certainly is the wild card in the mix.  She came to us from We All Need A Rescue (WANAR) K9 rescue in Saskatoon.  At first she was very timid and preferred spending time with Bruno and Eva to us humans.  That didn’t last long.  Now sheContinue reading “Agnes’ project – May and June 2017”

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”

Bruno’s Project – May 2017

May was a relaxed month for Bruno’s project with no action shots to be had. Week 18 was the first group portrait for the three pups, and it surprisingly turned out better than anticipated.  I got it on only the 83rd attempt (not exaggerating).  Treats are a good motivating force in our house. Dave: OkayContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – May 2017”

Eva’s Project – March & April 2017

March and April was mainly set in the kitchen and dog park for Eva’s project. This “can’t stop won’t stop” photo made use of a coffee mug bought for dog portraits then adapted to every day use in our house.  The mug really does match her personality.  Please note, no coffee was consumed during thisContinue reading “Eva’s Project – March & April 2017”

Bruno’s Project – April

Running in the park, Easter, and a new puppy in the house.  Easter was a good month. Week 14 was a simple photo of Bruno living the good life, with his coat flowing in the breeze as he runs in the park. ———- Week 15 was Easter, and a long anticipated appearance from “the EasterContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – April”
