Indoors - 52 Week Project

This week's theme is indoors! I decided to feature a collection of cats who are (or were) adoptable through Tri County Humane Society.

Chloe was a total sweetheart! I loved how she curled her paws up for tummy rubs! As of this posting she has been adopted!

This beautiful grey kitty is Dash, a total character! He too has been adopted!

Last but not least is the lovely Mr. Tan Man, who although come across as shy, loves his belly rubs and is very much a sweetheart! His coloring reminded me of a cottontail rabbit!

If you're looking to add a new cat or dog friend to your family, stop by Tri County Humane Society today! Next up visit Candid K Nines, Windsor Ontario pet photographer. 

Nerdism...

Yes, I can be a bit of a nerdy geek sometimes. My current guilty nerdism?

Dungeons and Dragons. 

Oh yes, that fantasy role playing game featuring paladins, orcs, elves, (and others!) and rolling dice to defeat mythological creatures and cast spells, stereotypically played for hours in a dark basement, occasionally enhanced with pre-recorded sound effects.

Granted the sessions I've played haven't had sound effects unless provided by the players, and none have been played in a basement as none of the players has a basement to play in! Instead we meet at in the living room of a players house and conduct our campaigns assembled on assorted chairs.

Thus far I've played a couple of characters - a druid Kitsune, a druid Ifrit, and a modern day super smart techie with a love of explosives which is super handy during the zombie campaign being run. (Which is meaningless to non players...)

Campaigns are the storyline that are being run. I'm still sort of lost on some of the numbers and how things work (AC and CMB?!?!) and its suprising how much math is involved with the game!

But nonetheless, its a fun activity to partake in. Because, basically its like being involved in an interactive story with other players! And who doesn't love a good choose your adventure story?

This girl does!

PS Also I'm prepping to run my own campaign as a Dungeon Master (as known as the lord master of all the things in the game). Be afraid... be very afraid!

Rural - 52 Week Project

The opposite of urban is rural! This week's 52 week project theme was rural. Luckily there are plenty of rural places around my area. I snagged Icey and Bender and headed out.

Where are we headed?

First stop was a newly thawed field with remnants of cornstalks in it. It also had some really nice thick goopy mud to walk through!

 From the field we meandered around looking for another rural spot. A quaint stand of trees made for the perfect backdrop for Bender.

I swung by the lake to see the condition of the ice (still lots of ice!) and had Icey do some modeling. She was great, minus that she wanted to go farther onto the ice than I was comfortable with. So I caught her and had her work her modeling angles on the dock!

 Next up visit Pup & Co Pet Photography in Brisbane to see how Lynn interpreted rural!

Urban - 52 Week Project

This week's theme for the 52 Week Project was Urban! Luckily the weather warmed up for the weekend, but I didn't get a chance to go shooting until Tuesday. There was a bitter breeze (is spring ever going to stay? Also its currently snowing as I write this...) but Icey and Axle were troopers as we adventured around town.

There was a new area I had scouted, but the stair leading down to the spot were glazed over with ice. Pretty, but I wasn't going to risk a tumble down them! So instead Icey modeled by the big steel doors.

With the wind being bitter, I wasn't too keen on wandering in search of the perfect place so the dogs and I did slow drive bys and quick stops for shots. An awesome blue railing and wedged between the garbage and recycling worked really well for an urban feel. 

Axle and I traveled down my favorite alley in St. Cloud and discovered some new graffiti. 

Across from the new graffiti is a really strange mural that Axle always looks really good in front of! 

I enjoyed adventuring around in the urban areas (minus that I would have liked to trade the cold for warmer temperatures). Next up visit the wonderful Cynthia Wood of Georgian Bay Studios for her take on the theme urban!
