The Bright Side of the Moon

It's a little depressing when it's already dark before you leave work (thanks winter), and it makes it that much harder to head to class afterwards.  But on the bright side, I got to see the beautiful moon that was out on Thursday night as I drove home from class.  It was a clear and cold night, and I was without a tripod, but I managed to snap this shot before I was shivering too much to hold the camera steady.

Cat-ography

Black pets can be extremely challenging to photograph, especially on dark furniture.  So when Steve laid down on a white blanket on the couch, I took the opportunity to take a few photos of him.  I also discovered that a feather is an excellent tool when photographing a cat.  I used it to get him to look in whatever direction I needed, and to prevent this sleepy guy from falling asleep on me.

Didn't stop him from yawning though.

Dong his best panther impression.

Adopt-aversery

Three years ago today we adopted our little dude, Steve. He's not so little anymore. You can check out my first post about him here to see just how much he's grown.

A Little More Sooke

Here are a few more photos from the trip to Sooke.

Murphy

I wanted to share a couple portraits I shot of a friend's dog, Murphy.  She's a gorgeous German shepherd cross they adopted as a puppy from the SPCA.  She's got a great temperament, is well behaved, and who couldn't love those ears?

 

Sooke Sunset

I'm really excited about this shot that I took a couple of weeks ago in Sooke as the sun was setting after a day full of sun and rain.  Take a close look at the horizon line, and you can see the Olympic mountains just coming through the clouds and fog.
