PWP week of June 18 – June 24 23

This week is just about foxes. Once again mother fox had her litter across the road under the bins. With the help of my trusty assistant the trail camera, along with my DSLR, I was able to get some shots of the little ones. Chase was the model of the week again. I’ve been watching some dog photography experts on You Tube and we did a bit of practicing. Slowly he is learning. All good things take time. We are having fun and strengthening the bond between us. Enjoy. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM. Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery.


PWP week of June 11 – June 17 23

I’m sorry this post is late.
Another great week. I could take 6 months of weather like we are having. Minus the mosquitoes. A little bad with a lot of good is ok. The highlight of my week was a trip to a Scandinavian festival. No airplane tickets involved. A friend and I drove to the site of the festival. Coming home was a bit dicey. The highway was being worked on and the signs weren’t put back up so I missed our turn. Figured it out before we went to far and thanks to Google maps found the right road. I have included a few teaser shots of what we saw. Will post a blog of all later in the week. Besides a bit of culture we have rain drops on clover, a high stepping robin, clouds, some late blooming lilacs. My Grandmother lived in a small town which had big lots. One side of hers was filled with a hedge of yellow roses. I am lucky enough to have a yellow rose bush, which reminds me of her, so this week we have some yellow roses. A barn swallow rests from driving Josie nuts. Remember to watch for the Scandinavian blog. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of June 7 – June 10 23

Weather wise was about the same this week but was able to get out and click the shutters. We have Chase looking down to China and one of his pretty paws, A butterfly landed on the deck and stayed long enough to have her picture taken. I found a home for some of my photo props so I took a few more shots of the before they left, I’m thinking I should have keep the little rabbit but he is gone now. Tis rose season now. I got a few shots of them. They don’t last long. My assistant the trail camera took the shots of the magpie and the fox. She doesn’t look in a great a shape. I image she is nursing several little ones. She sets the dogs off barking some nights. I had a grad/family photo shot this week. It went well. I’m hoping to post some of the shots in my portfolio page. The little boy blowing bubblies is from the same shot. A weather system was moving in quite fast so I didn’t get as many images of the bubble boy as I had hoped. Maybe next time. For those of you who don’t know, I’m living on the farm I grew up on. This year school age children have moved into the district so the school goes by same time , same road as it did when I walked out to the road to catch it to go to school (different driver).

As I’m writing, we are under a heat warning. Not much activities outside today. Looks like I will need to be setting up my Studio 13. For this week we have dogs, Chase is working into being a great model. Found some flowers, and neat fungi. There is a bit of creative metal working and a few winged friends. This week is a real smorgasbord of shots. Enjoy. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.
