The snow geese are back!

About a week ago one evening while walking my dog I noticed the chatter of birds in the night sky. The snow geese are back! 
On Saturday I then went to see the early arrivals at Terra Nova Park in Richmond. I was lucky.  A large flock was just flying into the grassy field, not far from the Richmond/Steveston dyke. 








Get out there and visit the geese. They are always a spectacle to see!

Creating lasting memories

Recently I had the opportunity to meet Darlene C. and her yellow lab, Jessie, in North Vancouver for their own personal photo session. Darlene was my newsletter prize winner from summer 2011 and this was her photo shoot. Jessie is a very sweet 11 year old labrador. As you can see from the photos she still has spark in her but she is also a real lounger. Jessie was so cooperative during the shoot - despite the fact that she did find it rather boring and she had no idea why she was suddenly allowed on the sofa and in the flower bed.

I think she much preferred the outdoor part of the shoot, which took place at the Lynn Valley head waters. Running through the water and the woods was much more her taste.

Ultimately she was glad when she could retire to a sunny spot on the deck to rest from all the exertion.

For Darlene it means that she now has a nice variety of images to pick from.

If you want to create your lasting memories of your special pooch or kitty or horse - get in touch. No better time than now!
So how come I am allowed on the sofa?

OK, I'll relax if you say so!

A  bit more action, please! 
So this is the favourite look?

I said "action"!


Oh, much better!

Yes, I can handle this!

and this...

But this is the best!

Thanks Jessie! And thanks Darlene for letting me photograph the two of you.
