Just as we were headed out the door for our evening walk Sandy quickly ran back in… I stuck my head out and saw a baby skunkbutt. I knew the trails it traveled so just stood there with my camera knowing it didn’t have any other way to get to the backyard. The risk paid …

Koa’s Spa Day
We had to get Koa ready for Easter Sunday so a little dog polo and a mango scented bath was called for. A few portraits after her spa treatment.
Coot Wars
Sat out this morning coffee in one hand 7D2 in the other. Not a big fan of coots but they were very active. It must be mating season. So do they fly or walk on water?
Cormorant poop @ 10fps
Its so easy to shoot burds in our backyard. Cormorants are playful and very active. They are either diving for fish or spreading the wings in the sun My Sony A6000 can capture 10fps (frames per second) I’ll spare you all the poop shots but I knew he would do this, the bastard.
Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly

Samage
Just on a whim I asked if I could shoot Sam. Bill quickly brought him over.
Canine Model Shoot
Did our regular thing. Got Koa, lather rinse repeat, pick up her crap & shoot portraits. I wanted to get some grossly distorted wide angle shots, but she had other things on the agenda. She’s such a princess.
Buggy
I’ve been sick all week and I’m going crazy with nothing to do… Got some bugs from the backyard an asked if I could shoot a few portraits of them. They graciously agreed. This is so hard to get sharp focus as my eyesight is horrible these days.
Koa Portraits
During a Koa dogsitting adventure I decided to test my 2 new cameras. The photo on the left is from the Canon G7X and the photo on the right is from the Sony A6000.
