PWP week of Oct 29 – Nov 4 23

I hope everyone had a fun safe Halloween. This week is another mixed bag. Weather wasn’t great. We had sun, freezing rain, fog and snow. Time to set up Studio 13. I’m not a cold weather kind’ve gal. The magpie and coyote were taken by my assistant the Trail Camera. Hope you enjoy this weeks’ offering.


PWP week of Oct 15 – Oct 21 23

Another week to fly by. This one spent fencing and getting ready for winter. We still have a few trees with leaves on. They are hanging on pretty well. I’m adding more fall shots to my collection. Some trees are bare now. What a difference. More sky shots. Maybe the time of year but the skies have been spectacular. Josie was keeping track of the fencing crew one afternoon. I’d did a shot on black of Chase this week. He always looks so pensive. Went on a road trip to a library this week. Book sale. They had a display of Lego creations. Very creative. They also had a 3d printing machine. Didn’t see it in action but the dragon is one that was printed. Would loved to have seen it work, but ….. A couple flowers this week. That’s it for another week.

PWP week of Oct 8 – Oct 14 23

Frost on the pumpkin this morning. We’ve had a few mornings with frost. A fungi, I’m not familiar with the names of mushroom, but one decided to grow on the edge of our gravel road. It lasted for a number of days until someone ran over it. We’ve had some colorful skies this week. A lot of pink/red in the clouds. I was out with my dish soap and water combating the maple bugs and created some huge bubblies. They lasted a while too. As I drove down the road one morning, this beautiful cat was in the field. There were a couple of farms in the area so I hope it made it back home. Houses are starting to decorate for Halloween. I stopped to get a shot of one, I will see if I can capture more of the spooky creativity. Finally I was able to get a decent shot of the moon and a star thanks to a Udemy Night Photography course. Now I’m just waiting for a full moon. Of course there are dog pictures. Josie and her favorite ball and the pair of them posing. We’ve had some strong winds but the leaves are holding on so I keeping capturing them as one day they will be gone. Our resident fox and been traveling through the barn yard as this shot shows. I managed to shot a bit of variety hope you enjoy the shots. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Oct 1 – Oct 7 23

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian followers. Mother Nature is smiling on us this long weekend with nice weather and we thank her. There are still colorful leaves on some trees as you will see some this weeks posts. Plus beautiful horses. Dunny was away from the herd for four weeks and as you will see he wasn’t welcomed back into the herd. In a few days it will be like he never left. The stone building used to be a school many many years ago. I guess roofs weren’t made to last. The walls sure wear. A beaver has taken up residence in our dugout. Haven’t seen it yet but will be on the watch for it. I was bored sitting in the truck so we have a shot of a fly. Josie and Chase are in this weeks post. They are both turning into pretty good models. Hope up enjoy this weeks offering. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Sept 24 – Sept 30 23

I’ve posted a variety of shots this week. I thought it would be a bare bones post but I got lucky. I had time to fill so went to one of my favorite places – Regina Floral Conservatory. It didn’t disappoint. Beautiful fall decorations and the flowers were awesome. There is a new horses sport, or new to me. I went to watch a polocrosse clinic. Here is a link that explains it if anyone is interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polocrosse To many things to think about at once for me. I love finding murals in unexpected places and that I did with the ones of the Girl Guides. I was one once upon a time. The fine art I saw in a public place and was quite taken with it. The Eiffel Tower I found close to home. It was featured a Kit Kat bar. I took a few almost night one of the moon and Josie. For some of the shots this week I used a Lens Baby soft focus lens. I love the effect it gives. There are shots a fox that is hanging around, a lady bug, new growth and some miscellaneous ones. Enjoy.

PWP week of Sept 17 – Sept 23 23

Wow, one more week in September! This month has gone by in a blink of an eye. Lots of colorful leaves this week. We’ve been having strong winds and the leaves are falling fast so I took advantage of the remaining one as I don’t know how long they will be hanging around! Had company one day this week and we toured a couple small towns. I don’t know what the Lady in White represented but she looked nice. There are always treasures to be found. We’ve had a fox going thru the yard setting the dogs off. Could be one that was raised here in the spring. Usually they don’t come back. My assistant – the trail camera caught a couple shots of it. Not Geographic quality but nice to have. It was a quite week, which I know I will have more of, so I persuaded a couple models from the toy-box to work with me. We have some birds and of course dogs – both Chase and Josie. Enjoy! For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Sept 10 – Sept 16 23

This was a slow week for the camera and I. Sometimes life keeps interfering with my fun time. My little earth mover provided some entertainment. Think she was digging to china the way she went at the job. I knew where the birdhouses lived and thought I’d share the creative designs. Some are very artistic. They do brighten the area up! Mother Nature provided color. Don’t see many shades of red but lots of varied yellow. The leaves are fallen fast as we’ve had a few strong winds. Our hummingbirds are on their way south but a robin is still with us. A few garden adornments are still in gardens and not put away for the season. Had to share the happy little dog! Someone must have been partying on the road I drive and left behind a dead soldier. Hope you enjoy this weeks offering.

PWP week of Sept 5 – Sept 9 23

Fall is moving along in my part of the country. Leaves are changing their colors and a lot have fallen to the ground already. Harvest is in full motion also. My hummingbirds have started their journey south. Safe travels little ones, see you next year. I experimented some with presets this week. Was pleased with the effect. On a road trip saw the beautiful black ravine. He looks totally black but as you will see he has many beautiful colors. He was in no hurry to be somewhere else. The young hawk sat and watched as I turned where he indicated. The cattle along the way were enjoying the grass a bit of rain had refreshed. The greenery and flower of a pumpkin plant was nice to see in a urban setting. The dog walkers travelled by me as I sat along a street. The little one was the only one that seemed to have noticed me. The lab was motoring along on three legs. Not having four was no bother to him at all. He was a happy fellow. The abstract shots are from incense burning. I will see if I can perfect my technique. The plane was shot thru the vehicle window as we left the city. No, I wasn’t driving. The two autumn shots are of the Qu’Appelle valley. That’s it for this week. Hope you enjoy what I found this week. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.
