Puppies!

There's more where this came from, over on my other blog.

Oh Leroy

A couple portraits of Leroy.  He's hard to photograph because he wants to be petted so badly he won't sit still.

Milkweed Bug(s)

I think my fake-macro skills are improving.  I noticed these interesting looking bugs while out gardening.  I believe they are adult Milkweed Bugs, and I am pretty sure they are making baby (or nymph) Milkweed Bugs in this photo.

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.

Watching the dragonflies.

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.
