Some more photos from the backyard of the Koning's. I hope their new home has just as many beautiful things for me to photograph as the previous one did.

Another photograph taken at Long Point this summer. A beautiful soft-coated wheaten terrier, named Kaylee (don't know about the spelling though), owned by family friends of the cottage owners, spent some there this year. She was so delightful that I decided this was the breed I want to get when the time comes.
A photograph I took while at Long Point, Lake Erie this summer. It actually reminds me of the pictures that come in frames when they are first purchased.
A group of flowers from the Koning's old backyard. Every time I spent a few days at their house I would take hundreds of photographs of their garden. It is just so nice there.This post marks my 100th on my photography blog. These 100 posts came much faster than the ones on my regular 'basic life' blog (the great abyss). This is quite possibly because these ones are actually easier as I usually have a couple photos I can throw up here whereas I don't always have something interesting to post on my other blog (though the posts that do get up there, don't seem to be very interesting anyway).

Last summer Dave and I went to the Peterborough zoo. We attempted to watch and take pictures of the otters but the small (and irritating) children kept getting in the way. Turned out that one of the best photographs to come out of the trial was one involving one of the small children.
We found this kitten and her brother outside in the cold one day. We sheltered them for a couple of hours and I of course got several photographs of them. This one was absolutely crazy, she didn't sit still for more than a minute and was constantly investigating everything - in other words, she was great.I registered for my second course at Algonquin College yesterday. I was initially planning on taking two courses this term but my workload at DST has increased tenfold and it doesn't look like it will be decreasing until last spring/early summer (good for work and my company in general - but bad for my photography).
I registered in a Multimedia course which will teach my how to use Flash and Dreamweaver (and other such programs). I know the basics of these programs as I used them a bit in high school and for fun since, but I am no pro and can't make anything that looks even slightly professional. The overall goal of this course is to be able to design a photography website for professional use. As I am currently looking into getting my own website started, I think this is a good place to start.
I decided to take a course which won't be photo based since I am not the greatest with winter shots and really have no experience in it. I plan on practicing this winter with manual shots with the dSLR so that next winter I will be more comfortable taking a photo based course during a snowy season.
This photograph is of Christine Sweeton. It was taken during a portrait session we had to fulfill the assignment I was given in my photography course. I think this set of photographs, though incredibly 80s looking, turned out really well - although to be honest, it wasn't hard to make Chris look beautiful.
I promise to put up shots from places other than Parc Omega soon - but for now here is another one, this time of a buffalo. You weren't allowed to feed these guys and when this one came trotting up to the car I could see why - they could easily destroy vehicles since they are absolutely massive. I believe the pamphlet stated they weighed approximately one ton. Though they are impressive creatures, their dark fur and sunken features makes them a little hard to photograph.Another photograph from Parc Omega - this time of a baby fallow deer (fawn) being absolutely adorable.

This is a photograph of a deer taken in Parc Omega in Montebello, Quebec this past weekend. I really loved it there and would suggest that any animal lover make the trip.
