shy

I tried.

Have I mentioned how hard it is to hold the ball in the air and take a photo of Sam jumping. He likes to come right at me vs going for the ball in my hand. Maybe he thinks I'm something he can use to push off of. Sigh. I tried. (many times)

Rescued.

I met this adorable rescue at WAG today. Lucky owners. This dog is really sweet.

Bring them to water....

and they will play! Who knew such a small pond could be so much fun!

A little gathering around the pond.

Happy Easter!

Pepper

While photographing new spring/summer clothes for Delilah {in the Glebe} little Pepper walked by and I couldn't resist getting him into the shot. He's adorable!!

Good Luck!

Taylor

So it's raining. Then snowing. What shall we do? Take photos, naturally. Everything work out amazingly well!! Thank you Taylor for being patient with me and to Sue, thank you for letting me photograph your incredibly beautiful daughter. I'd connected with Sue via Facebook and was so in awe of her strength of character and adore her love of animals. I think she surpasses me on that front. I simply wanted to do something nice for her and for Taylor, who will be heading off to university in the fall. I feel lucky to have these opportunities.

{tiny} Visitors

Two special visitors came by yesterday. I so enjoyed their company and I think Tika was in heaven soaking up all the love and attention. 

Share the Road

Laurie Sweig (The Point for Fitness) put on a fundraiser to raise money for "Share the Road". Here are a few shots from the event. Robert Wein, one of the Kanata 5 who were struck down by a car several years ago, and still recovering from those injuries, led a class. Here are few photos from that session. The energy was high and Laurie raised over $5,000. Great work Laurie and to everyone who participated. What a great day!

 Everyone working hard!

Rob looked like he was having a great time, great work, Rob.

Good News!

Good news. Daisy's latest blood tests show that she's getting better. As you can see, she looks GREAT!

 And I met Harrah yesterday. The bouncy, happy, energetic Berner.  I don't know what it is about Berners but Sam adores Berners. A little too much, if you know what I mean.

Our great city!

How great is it that you can do this, in the city of Ottawa!
