Meet Rilee - Jack Russell Rescue of Ontario

Hi there, I am Rilee and I am 3 years old. Here is what my foster mommy has to say about me: "Rilee is a 3-year-old tri-color Jack Russell,Rilee is not used to meeting new people, but is getting better. Once Rilee knows you, she is a snuggly, friendly, bundle of love! She is good with kids, other dogs and cats (as long as the cat stands up for itself!) Rilee has a weakness for the garbage can buffet and needs to go to a home who will work with this habit. Rilee has a very good off-leash recall and will walk on a leash politely. Her sit is coming along steadily. She is equally happy romping through the grass, as she is curled up beside her human on the couch. Please give this loving, little girl a wonderful home!" Adoption fee $250

Rilee is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Two Westies - by Artist Julie Deans

Say hello to my latest dual creation. These two cuties are West Highland White Terriers. My parents have one of these feisty little creatures, and they definitely have the "terrier" attitude (if you don't know the 'tude, you're in for a big surprise when you find out, just ask Brandy). These guys were a blast to draw, the perfect pose for a great portrait!

Completed on Strathmore Bristol Smooth, 8"x10", in pencil. My clients were really pleased with this piece, and I'm always ecstatic when I can put a smile on someone's face after creating a portrait for them.

Ah, lovely summer day ... by Artist Julie Deans

The only picture not from the 50mm lens.

I can handle this - 24 degrees, no humidity, I'll take it!

So I finally got myself and the little dog out to one of the conservation areas today (Kelso Summit off of Steels Avenue), and though I knew I wasn't going to make it far, I thought I'd bring my new, cute little EF 50mm f/1.8II Canon lens with me to test her out (yes, I brought the camera too ... I'm not that dense).

This stumpy little Canon 50mm is touted as being the lens to have in every photographers kit, even though it's on the cheaper end as far as price comparison with other Canon lenses goes. Great for portraits and it's gaussian optics, I'm taken quite with this little bugger already.


Below is the results from a quick photo session in the woods, and though I didn't really take too much time on these photos, I am more than happy with the results from the 50mm. 


Photos aren't edited except for a few filter changes in Photoshop and a desaturation on three of them.

I have no idea - she just like to eat grass...

None-to-happy little dog on a bench hears someone coming and doesn't like it.
