So many dandelions, so little time...

I took this pic quite a while ago, but it's still one of my favorites. This was taken along the Hudson Hope highway, about halfway between Hudson Hope and the Halfway Bridge. We found this guy stuffing his face, and even stopping to take the pic (with the 300mm zoom - of course) seemed to elicit a response of "huh??" He never stopped chomping on dandelion greens...

I was driving to Fort St. John for work last week, saw this at the top of the Taylor Hill. The clouds were just rising from the Peace River, creating a beautuful river of clouds over the water.

I love this pic. I took it through the fence at the Calgary Zoo - one of the first outings with my 30mm zoom. I've now had the zoom for a long time, but this first attempt is still one of my favorites.

This one is dedicated to all my beloved furkids, past and present...

through the living room window!

I love the colour here...

Because I promised...

...here are the horses!

Argo is a 12 year old registered Morgan mare:

And Epona (Poni for short) is the baby - not quite 2, quarterhorse, a touch of arab, and sabino paint:

This is her right after waking up - she's covered in shavings...!

I took this through the livingroom window. Again handheld - I have a tripod, but was afraid that she would be gone by the time I set it up! So she isn't very sharp, but I was pleased. I used a sigma 70 - 300mm @ 300mm and held my breath...

I'm playing around with macro photography. Trouble is, I don't have a dedicated macro lens. This was taken with my Canon digital rebel and a Canon 50mm 1.8 @1.8, autofocus. It was also handheld, no it isn't tack sharp - far from it. But I like it!

Stages of Acceptance

Some days just... wow...

If you were wondering...

What's be going on - well - work! Yep, I blame work for not blogging. (I have to have something to blame, because I certainly haven't been around here...!)

But I'm getting back into photography, so I wanted to reconnect and put up some of my new pics. And the family has changed - we lost our sweet Georgie girl back in December.


Then in March we added a new baby to the family - here is Dori, also knows as Doribug, pumpkin 2, and that damn puppy (depending on what shit she's disturbing at the time!)

And here is Dori now:

She's 3/4 Sheltie and 1/4 American Eskimo, but we think she's part fox!

She joins Jedi and Wookie:

And the cats Autolycus and Ares:

We also have 2 horses, but I'll post them next time.

Now so you know - these aren't the pics I was referring to in the opening paragraph... But I have to show off the furkids first - then the scenery...
