Graduation
It’s mid-August already. Summer is just flying by. Soon the yellow school bus will be zooming past my door and many young people will be leaving home for advanced learning. Good luck to all! Rewind a couple months to June and I will share some photos celebrating four young men’s graduation. They looked pretty spiffy. If you haven’t figured it out, the young men in blue are twins. My first “twin” shot! It was a graduation/family affair. Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Siblings, Aunt, Cousins, Escorts and the family dogs. And a 1946 (we think) jeep! It may sound like chaos but it all came together to be an awesome fun photo shot. I did some creative editing with some of the shots, with permission. I hope you enjoy view these shots as I did taking then. Check back for my next post. It will be another “first”! Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery
Flyball
This summer I had an opportunity to watch super fast athletic dogs in a flyball competition. Here is a brief description of flyball from Wikipedia. Flyball is a dog sport in which teams of dogs race against each other from the start to the finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring-loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball. Very fast action. The dogs are amazing. Any breed can compete. The competition was in a curling arena which made for poor lighting for taking fast action. I pushed my Canon 7D to the limit and it didn’t let me down. Minimal post editing was done to the pictures which I’m very pleased with. I hope you enjoy the shots of these amazing animals.

Flowers of Briercrest Farm
This summer in much of Canada has had very high daytime temperatures. I was able to spend some time in a beautiful flower patch that seemed to thieve in the heat. Thank you to the keepers of the flower patch at Briercrest Farm that allowed me to photograph these gems as I wandered. The lilies put on a magnificent show. I hope the flowers brings you as much joy as they did my camera and me! Enjoy! Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery.
