PWP Week of July 23 – July 29 23
Another fun filled week. This week we have an eagle that is king of the sand hill. Barrel racers coming off the first barrel. Some rain drops on hanging baskets and just falling. Looks like snow but is rain. Josie and her love of water. Chase laying and waiting at the door. Mr. Rabbit a plush friend. Portrait of two awesome dogs. More flowers and sky. This week you get to meet the Sunshine Sisters. Enjoy.

PWP Week of July 16 – July 22 23
I apologize for the lateness of this post. There was a pasture fence to be mended and it was in worse shape then anticipated. Horses are safe and I won’t be spending time running them down. Hope you had a good week. Mine was decent. Weather starting heating up close to the weekend. Will be sticking close to the house today. On the menu this week we have dogs, skies, and sunflowers. It is haying season in my part of the country and we have some shots of that. A neighbors cow was close the morning I saw the deer in our pasture. The swallows are availing themselves of the dogs water. That’s it for this week. Enjoy.
Scandinavian Festival 2023
I attended the Scandinavian midsummer’s party in a small Saskatchewan village. It was fun and colorful. Midsummer is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Sweden. Traditionally a May pole is raised which people gather around to dance and sing. Some people wear folk costumes to honor their regions while celebrating. Tiny trolls were hidden all over the grounds. I think I found most of them. They were much happier than the trolls they are named after. Flat bread was for sale. Tents were set up with Viking and Swedish artifacts. Here are some of the sites I saw. Enjoy.
PWP Week of July 9 – July 15 23
July is half gone. Hard to believe. Some mornings here felt like October. Wouldn’t want to be waking up in a tent or under the stars. This week I went to the exhibit – Van Gogh and Beyond. It was wonderful. I could have spent all day at it. Highly recommend it. Along with the Scandinavian festival and the foxes, I’m doing to dedicate a page to the exhibit. I’m posting a few shots here as a tease. Along with them you will see dogs, skies, a shiny red Harley Davidson, sunflowers, my kitchen window and lived in living room. Most of the shots were taken with the 8mm fish-eye lens. It is a fun lens to pay with. Enjoy.

PWP Week of July 2 – July 8 23
It was a decent week. Nothing exciting, no major trips. Josie was the model of choice this week. She did well. Loves the water as you can see. Scruffy dropped by and allowed me to dress him up with glasses. It was a pretty bright day. Of course during the photo shot the wind decided to join us and ruffled his hair some. He tolerated that as well. Chase figured he should join in. Guess he figured someone was taking this job. The beautiful quilt was a gift from a friend and as it was wash day and the sun was out, it got to hang out on the line. Someone drew cut images a side walk in town. Wonder if anyone plays the game. I took the shots of the beautiful flowers on a trip into town (the furthest the went all week). That’s it for this week. Not exciting but pleasant.

PWP Week of June 25 – July 1 23
This week we have an assortment of shots. I went to a farmer’s market and what a display of treasure to be seen. Not many veggies for sale but I wasn’t there when gates opened so maybe missed them. Did score some new potatoes and little cucumbers. Politely asked a man if I could take a picture of this dog. His is the little gray one with lots of hair. I cringle thinking about looking for ticks on it. The black and white dog belongs to a friend. A wonderfully smart border collie Australian shepherd. I stopped by the Hansen Ross House -Artists in Residence as the artists had displays out side. Wonderful work. I bought a couple items from C. Ingrid Deringer. Here is a link to her website https://www.ingridderinger.com/ Look under Ging Ging designs if you like whimsical. I had my fish-eye lens out for awhile. It takes awesome sky shots. It can make my dogs look kind’ve goofy. The roses I bought for an event. They sure didn’t last long. How long can you sit watching a gopher hole? Chase sat quite awhile. I have more fox pics but have decided to do a post of just foxes. I’m sure one of these days Mom will move them. I am downsizing my prop collection and taking shots of them be fore they leave. Hence the doll. You may be seeing more of such shots. That’s it for this week. Wonder what next week will bring. Enjoy.
