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 – The Rise of the Traffic Bridge

I’ll admit that this is a delayed post.  Saskatoon’s new traffic bridge is set to officially open tomorrow (October 2, 2018).  These photos have been on my hard drive for far too long as they are from a trip to the river to document building the bridge during a -40 celcius morning on February 7,Continue reading “26 Bridges – The Rise of the Traffic Bridge”

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.

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”

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. Dog Bling Eva sporting her heart shaped dog tag. She literally doesContinue reading “Eva the Brittany Spaniel – April to June 2018”

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 – 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”

26 bridges – Gordie Howe and Grand Trunk Rail Bridge

In August of 2017 I took an evening trip out to the old Grand Trunk rail bridge and new Gordie Howe South Circle Drive bridges for some sunset photos.  The night was calm so there was not a ripple on the river.  A beautiful Saskatchewan summer night.  It made for a good evening of photos.Continue reading “26 bridges – Gordie Howe and Grand Trunk Rail Bridge”

Agnes – January 2018 – The Start of a New Dog Photography Project

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”

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 – November 2017

We  had an abrupt early start to winter. On November first we had a moderately large snow-storm and are now sitting at a very cold -30c with the wind chill. The cold stayed for much of the month so Bruno’s project has one snowy image and several relaxed indoor photos.  The hard life of aContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November 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”

Eva’s Project – September & October – Brittany Spaniel

Eva’s photography project in the fall was somehow mainly shot indoors with only one photo of the fall colours in it.  The photo of my stalker turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. Serious Face Her only September photo was a simple black and white portrait of her serious face inContinue reading “Eva’s Project – September & October – Brittany Spaniel”

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”

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”

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”

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”
