PWP week of Mar 19 – Mar 25 23

What a week! It was one of those weeks in which Life throws things at you. And I missed. I though I would have to restore to archives for my post but miraculously I was able to get brand new shots to share with you. We had two visitors this week. A bald eagle decided one of our tree was a great lockout post. It hung around for quite awhile. Our next visitor was Truffles. He was on his way to the family sty and needed a place to rest. He was quite agreeable to having his photo taken. One of his wishes or dreams was to have a picture taken with a wolf. I guess he heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood. I told him there were no wolves around at the moment by Chase would gladly fill in. Which he did, very well. No one was injured during the photo shot. I didn’t realize Easter was getting close until I visited a friend and saw all the decoration. I guess the chocolate candies in the stores should have clued me in. Once again I was able to get photos of the moon and Venus and the moon stopping for a rest. I passed the wreath on a walk in the city and thought it was kind’ve neat. And a partial portrait of a dog. Hope you enjoy my offering for this week. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Mar 12 – Mar 18 23

It was a good week once we got dug out AGAIN. Hopefully not to many storms will roll thru. Living in Saskatchewan one can’t help being amazed by the skies we have. And they change so fast. I see unique cloud formations while out doing chores and by the time I get out with the camera they are gone. We have a squirrel hanging around again. I will try and get more pics of him. Took a road trip to Fort Qu’Appelle Saturday. Chase needed a new harness for the car and the pet store there is great. Along Bay Ave there are beautiful statutes carved from wood. All done with a chainsaw. Here is a link about the creator https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/carving-art-artwork-fort-qu-appelle-pandemic-1.5652077 The bird houses were along the way. The shots of the white tailed deer are from the trip to the valley also. Like the sky shots, there will always photos of dogs! I wanted a picture of an old window frame for a project the pigeon was a plus Enjoy

PWP week of Mar 5 – Mar 11 23

The end of this week we had a good old blizzard. Was pretty intense for a while. The pups and I ventured out when there was a a bit of a break and visited the horses. Jazz’s ears where outlined in white. Up until yesterday the deer in our area were finding it difficult to get down to the grass due to the hardened snow. Now there is more snow to contended with on the hardened surface. One evening we had a herd of mule deer come to the yard. They migrated to the area we feed the horses. And more wildlife came to the yard this week. There seems to be an abundance of prairie chicken this year. Later in the day the flock I took pictures of went right through the yard. I never know what my camera with catch on any given day. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Feb 26 – Mar 4 23

Already into March. This week went by fast. I’m still trying to get good shots of the moon. Had better luck this week. A special guest dropped by the ranch this week. MK from the Meerkat Colony stopped in to see us. He visited the horses. Received a kiss from Katie. The horses weren’t sure what to make of him. He and Chase had a talk, probably about what is see while he was here. He covered a lot of ground while he was here. He is a bit of a cheeky fellow. One morning we had crystal frost which is always fun to capture. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Feb 19 – Feb 25 23

The weather didn’t cooperate for outdoor photo shots this week. Or it didn’t for me. I dug into 2022 archives for this weeks addition. Every year in Regina 13th Ave. is blocked off for the Cathedral Art festival. I think I’ve posted shots from other years. It is a wonderful time. All kinds of art is on display and food truck are abundant. And dogs! This year was a plus for me. I knew one of the artist and was able to view a lot of his art. I hope to enjoy the tour. Watch Facebook for the notification of the date of the 2023 festival. Might see you there! For those that are interested here is the link for the webpage https://cvaf.ca/ Lots to see.

PWP week of Feb 12 – Feb 18 23

The weeks are flying by. Soon we will be March and soon Spring will be here. We had a little white visitor this week. A weasel has moved in. We haven’t seen many mice this winter and he is probably the reason. Chase seems to be able to tell when he is out and about. The weather has been unsettle this week, providing some awesome skies. Only February and we have some pretty huge snow banks. You’d think with all that snow it would be a lot of runoff but the experts say it will be a normal one for our region. Once again we have shots of the pups. They see a camera and seem to think they are the models. Which they usually are. I may gave caught a shot of a UFO. Enjoy.

PWP week of Feb 5 – Feb 11 23

This week I’ve posted numerous shots of Josie and Chase. Two years ago they entered our lives. And trust me our lives haven’t been the same since. Josie came to live with us on February 6 and Chase came home on February 13. A flock of prairie chicken decided to hang around for a few day, hence the partridge in the trees. A couple artistic shots and some of the moon. Still trying to get a good shot of the moon but not succeeding. Hope you enjoy this weeks additions.

January is flying by. 4th week — 4th posting. Hope you are enjoying them. Up and down week here. Nice weather than we were hit with a blizzard for a few hours one morning. It was over before I got out with the camera. This week is another week of variety. Dogs, Plush friends, still life, more frost and sky shots. Pips makes a friend and Megs gains a protector. Oh and a pretty bird. My bird expert tells me it is a Starling. We have two of them at the feeders. And now this weeks installment. Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery.

PWP week of Jan 15 – 21 23

Mother Nature provided another week of beautiful frost. I wasn’t going to take more photos but …. like crocuses you can never has too many. I had a model for a few of the shots. She loves the winter weather. I also caught a furry white rabbit that had escaped from the toy box. She and I had fun and the pups joined in for awhile. Speaking of pups, there is a new pup in the kennel. Meet Pips. I’m sure you will be seeing more of her. One morning the the sun rise was spectacular and I had my camera handy. It was posted on my Facebook page and received many likes. There are other images that I capture during the week. All without leaving the farm. Hope you enjoy all.
