Meet Agnes

In April we added another puppy to our home.  Agnes is a mixed breed puppy who was looking for a home from “We All Need A Rescue” in Saskatoon.  She came to us timid and afraid of people, but started immediately bonding with our pups.  Within a few days she warmed up to us humansContinue reading “Meet Agnes”

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”

Bruno’s Project – March

March saw the continuation of winter, Bat-Bru (his amazing Batman impersonation), shoving his nose in a “namast’ay in bed” mug, and warm paws.  This guy is a good model. Winter Boots Week 9 was a trip to the park for Julia and Bruno that ended in a drag through the snow.  Julia was more thanContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – March”

Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on

2017 is a new year, and time to start a new 52 week dog photo project.  This will be my fifth year doing a weekly dog photo project, and I must admit it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find photos that I haven’t done before.  So, there may be repeats in 2017, but hopefully not tooContinue reading “Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on”

Bruno’s project – November & December 2016

It’s hard to believe that Bruno’s 12 month project is over for 2016.  From jumping in the yard like a dolphin to all the fun of the Christmas season.  But, lots more of him to come as he moves into a weekly project in 2017. Dolphin Jumping His first November project photo “dolphin jumping” wasContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November & December 2016”

Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project

The end of December say a finish to Eva’s 52 week project.  And thanks to how the weeks lined up, an extra week was added to make it 53 weeks in total. This month saw temptation over garlic sausage, cold weather and Christmas.   It’s been another fun project to do with her and I’ve reallyContinue reading “Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project”

Eva’s project – November

Eva’s project in November saw a bit of a warm November transition into the Christmas season.  It saw a revisit of the “She’s Crazy” shots, off lead in the park, her sniffer, and some cuddles and cocoa. She’s Still Crazy Week 45 “she’s still crazy” was a revisit from Kael’s project in 2013 when EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – November”

Eva’s project – October

Eva’s project was quite varied in October.  From hanging out under a bridge to finding her published in the Flydogs book and then a trip for me to Rome.  It was a busy time. The Bird Code Week 40 “the bird code” was taken under the Idylwylde bridge. This summer Saskatoon commissioned local born artistContinue reading “Eva’s project – October”

Eva’s project – September

September is done, and saw the transition towards fall.  It also saw four more photos in Eva’s weekly project, including one of an “open can standoff”, the doggy version of a Mexican Standoff. Hood Ornament Week 36 “hood ornament” was the final dock photo of the season.  It was a chilly September long weekend andContinue reading “Eva’s project – September”

Eva’s project – August

Eva’s project is now well over half way done.  August has been another good month here, although it did end a little colder than expected. Eva’s August saw both paddle boarding and ice cream, and no one could ever complain about that. Under Broadway Week 32 “under broadway” is just me hanging out with EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – August”

Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier

Stitch is an 11 year old Boston terrier belonging to Serena, one of my friends at work.  He had a bit of a health bump earlier this year, so Serena asked me to do a photo session with him.  I was happy to oblige.  He is a great pup – super handsome and well behaved.Continue reading “Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier”

Eva’s project – July

July was a good month.  Lots of time spent out of the city at the cabin.  For Eva this meant swimming, canoe rides, and chill time.  I think I captured some of that here. Incognito Week 27 “incognito” was in response to a hats challenge in the 52 weeks group.  Eva has a tiny head,Continue reading “Eva’s project – July”

Eva’s project – June

Hard to believe that the project is now half finished.  June saw a darn good puddle, deal making and dock jumping. The Official Start to Summer Week 23 “the official start of summer” featured a staple of summer in our family – dock diving at the cabin.   No fancy dogversation to go with, asContinue reading “Eva’s project – June”

Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June

May and June have come and gone.  And five more photos have been added to Bruno’s project.  Enjoying what summer has to offer – plus a little light reading.  He really is a good dog. Take Me Out to the Ball Game His first May photo “take me out to the ball game” was fromContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June”

Eva’s project – May

May saw some some beautiful spring weather in Saskatoon.  Perfect for a photo project.  Lens flare, fresh grass, Eva’s namesake from WALL-E, and a three part portrait at the lake. Halo Week 19 “halo” was a back-lit photo in the park.  Love the way her crazy ear hair glows in the light, and that smileContinue reading “Eva’s project – May”

Bruno’s 2016 project – March and April

Two more months of 2016 have sped by, and we transitioned from “the winter that never was” to spring and maybe even summer.  He spent time on a life raft, had an absentee photo while were away, flew like a wizard and ended the month with a Slumber Party.  And as always, Bruno continues toContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – March and April”

Eva’s project – April

April has had a little back and forth with the weather – spring to winter to spring to summer, and all in such a short time.  Eva’s project continued including shots at napping home, being photobludgeoned in the tennis courts, bird brained and chilling in the yard and having “tweet dreams” and at the cabin.Continue reading “Eva’s project – April”

Eva’s 2016 project – March

March has come and gone – and with it winter seems to have left.  A winter sunrise, ceramic birds, putting a doggy door on the fridge and applying for a job as a bird spotting guide.  Another busy month for Eva. Frozen Sunrise Week 10’s photo “frozen sunrise” was taken during a weekend trip toContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – March”

Eva’s 2016 project – February

February saw some winter weather, the under side of the Idylwyld bridge and treat catching in Eva’s project.  That and she is the only tobogganing dog that I have ever met. Eva and 22 Birds Under Idylwyld Week 6 “Eva and 22 birds under idylwyld” combined Eva’s weekly photo with another mini-project that I amContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – February”

Eva’s 2016 project – January

2016 is upon us and it is Eva’s turn to do the weekly photos.  She is likely looking forward to the project – as the camera and it’s associated dog treats really get her excited.  For the first month of the project – overhead views, a historic bridge, intense eye contact, vintage star wars actionContinue reading “Eva’s 2016 project – January”

Bruno’s 2016 – January & February

The start of the new year means the start of a new dog photo project for me.  This year Bruno will be doing a more infrequent monthly project, with up to 3 photos per month. The first January photo “mr. serious” shows Bruno’s serious side.  Something that was rare in his 2015 project photos.  AlsoContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 – January & February”

the playmobil photographer

In 2013 I borrowed a Playmobil character from one of my children’s sets for part of a photo project with Kael.  This little test shot in 2013 was a random stroke of good luck as I really like how it all came together, with the details of the photographer and the light on the kitchenContinue reading “the playmobil photographer”

Bruno’s project – December

This is the final month of Bruno’s project.  This month saw a little bad behaviour, some time travelling, a Christmas Golden Wreathtriever, and a retrospective look at the past year. Evidence Week 49 “evidence”: This was never the plan for weekly photo, but when Bruno climbed on the table while our baby sitter was lookingContinue reading “Bruno’s project – December”
