Haven's Pups: Part Two

Here are the rest of my shots of Haven and her pups.  Please share this blog post, and part one so we can help find homes for all seven puppies and Haven.  If you are interested in adopting Haven or one of her pups, you can apply at the BCSPCA Victoria branch.

Sometimes you need a little help from Mumma.

Dawww, so sweet.

Tummy tickles.

Kisses.

Froggy style.

Haven and Her Pups

A couple of friends of mine are fostering a mother dog and her litter of pups for the BCSPCA right now.  I went over today to take some photos, and of course get some puppy time.  And oh boy, did I get a lot of photos.  So many that this will be a two parter.  So here is part one of Haven and her pups.  If you are interested in adopting Haven or one of her pups, you can apply at the BCSPCA Victoria Branch.

I believe this one is "Tea-Bag"

The beautiful mumma, Haven.

Crocosmia 'Lucifer'

Had to grab a picture before the deer ate them.
These are also popular with the humming birds.

Sombrio's Secret

Sombrio Beach, on the Western coast of Vancouver Island, has many beautiful and amazing features, but one of my favourites is the hidden water fall.  Over time this water fall has cut it's way back into the sandstone cliff.  You can walk back into the mossy cave it has created and stand right below the falls.  It's a challenging scene to photograph with the lighting extremes and the narrow space.  I've visited the falls multiple times, but never walked away with a photo that does the experience justice.  This one is no exception, but it's the closest I've come.

House Panther

I took Steve out for some backyard adventures and captured this shot of my handsome fellow.

Small Fry

A friend of mine, and her boyfriend, adopted a kitten this weekend.  The little fellow below is Phillip J. Fry, or Fry for short.  Him and his siblings were brought into Pacific Cat Clinic at just five days old when their mother was hit and killed by a car.  Luckily the clinic had a mother cat who had just weaned her litter and was still lactating.  She took in the orphaned litter and cared for them until they were old enough to be adopted.

Little Fry was pretty frisky when we went to visit so I didn't get many shots of him, but as you can tell, he's pretty darn cute.

Cameron Lake

We were driving back from Ucluelet today and there was a heavy fog crawling along the tops of the mountains as we cut across the island from the west coast to the east.  There were so many beautiful photos waiting to be taken but unfortunately the highway is narrow, and winding, and heavily treed.  Pull off spots that coincided with the shots I wanted were few and far between, so I watched with dismay as my photo ops became missed opportunities.  Finally as we passed Cameron Lake there was a gravel pull off at the lakes edge.  My husband pulled off and I fired off this shot before the rain started to fall and obscured the focus.
