Not a great photo, but a Humpback breaching off of the Ventura coast today:

You didn't know I let myself in and set that up and took the shot?
Um those dishes and mess are part of the look I swear.

An artsy flower, can't remember the name.

Globe thistle, they come in blue as shown and also white.

The first one is St. Josephs the second one is a church in a small town in Quebec.

Here's something a little different:

I shot this at 11:15 at night. The nights keep getting longer and longer here!

I don't really have much new stuff, so here's one from a curling event out in springbank.. i'll put the caption up just incase someone knows them.

Springbank, AB., - Curling Club Managers Championships –

How about some spot news photography . . . .

Walking around the lake in Alix, I've had my dogs on leashes and in hand but as we get out into the fields, I let them run a bit, verbally keeping them away from the lake.

BUT . . . they go around a corner and sure enough, I come across the scene below, one dog through the ice weakened by beavers.

I'm using a Nikon D-80 with an 18 mm wide angle. As I race through the brambles - cutting my nose on a branch along the way - I take five photo's by just holding the camera up and pointing as I'm moving.

The log shows the span between the first one (not presented here) and the last one shown below is 18 seconds . . . . and one minute and four seconds from the previous "normal" picture to the first one showing disaster striking.

Oh, oh, dog through the ice . . . .



A little closer . . . . HALP!!!



And, the rescue, my arm going in and grabbing the hapless and soggy pooch by the collar, dragging her out.



I estimate she was in the water less than a minute.

Never take your eyes off your kids for even a minute!!

She looks very humbled by the experience, Cow.

Here she is only 14 minutes later (the camera log strikes again), all happy-go-lucky business as usual.

One of my favorites that I took.. winter 4x4'ing with my buddies out at the Fallen Timber area north of Calgary in the forestry reserve.

Yeah, dogs off leash and water are like one of those disaster combinations. My purebread Samoyed won't go in the water when I take him to a lake and try to get him to swim. But off leash when I'd prefer he didn't because I haven't brought the required 3 towels he's b-lining it for the first body of water and heading in head first, than looking for the first pile of black dirt to go roll around in. Even when you have your eye on them, they can run a lot faster than you can to get to trouble!

Here are a couple pictures from the flow edge here in Chesterfield Inlet, NU:

How's the cam holding up in the weather up there? Or is it even that cold?

[notoepik]

That dog looks like it would just as soon chew off your arm for dinner than have a T-bone.

Best picture I've ever taken. Took it from the summit of Mount Temple last summer. Click for the biggie version!
