Decision Made

I finally made a decision about a new camera. After every salesman telling me something different, I went to the source and e-mailed Canon. They described the 5D as a portrait camera and the 7D as a sports camera. So I bought the Canon 7D. It was cheaper, I didn't need another lens like I would have needed for the 5D and if Canon themselves thinks it better for what I do, then I'm convinced.

I still need to reduce the orange in all of Coulee's pictures but I can live with that. I even did a custom white balance and she still looked Orange. And Lacey always looks the right colour. Weird.

There is no way my old camera would have gotten this in focus...

And I can crop my photos and still have the subject look crisp.

Down Under

Guess who got to hang out with the cutest little Aussie pup today?

He was super curious and was constantly trying to get to the camera.

And because I didn't want to completely swamp the blog with 101 photos, I posted more on the photography one instead! :)

And not to be left out is Ali. She demonstrated with her breath just how cold it was today.

Ali was pretty shy to start but the moment I picked up a ball, it was like I flipped a switch. She was excited to fetch and showed just as much focus as Coulee.

Frozen Fingers and Toes

Coulee kept doing "the beat down" on Lacey so I knew despite the cold, we had to give the girls a decent run today.

We didn't want to drive and risk getting stuck on the way to the dog park, so we went to the green space next to the train tracks near our home.

My fingers got a little cold, Lacey's toes got a little cold, and I assume Coulee's face got a little cold too!

But they are now both napping so it was worth it.

Snow Zoomies

The girls are having so much fun outside in the snow. Lacey is constantly asking to go back outside. She doesn't even dry off in between.

I had lots of fun taking pictures of all their fun. I just went into the park right behind our house and let them run wild with the Wubba.

Not surprisingly, the park was empty. :)

The snow has made it almost like having a giant (yet cold and wet) studio. I did have to edit out the houses in the background but they were almost obscured anyway by all the snow.

I think we'll go back out in a few hours and do it all over again!

Hoops of Fun

This is definitely Coulee's prefered way of carrying her new frisbee.

Or maybe I just take more pictures when she is carrying it this way.

Words to Live By

Cindy bought this for the girls last weekend when she was down in the states. :) Thanks Cindy! I love Life is Good stuff. Apparently, the girls do too.

Orange

Amanda commented that Coulee is kinda orange. But she isn't usually this orange though is she?
