Brandon Doggie Park – Ste. Agathe Roman Catholic Church

This past weekend I spent Easter with my good friends, Inge & Michael Skliros at their home in Brandon, Manitoba.    Part of the highlite of my weekend was spending time at the Doggie Park on Victoria Avenue East.  Inge and Michael have two beautiful Hungarian Viszla dogs, Hunter and Grissom.  They had been cooped up inside for a day or so – and were very ready for an outing – as were we!

All the dogs at the Doggie Park got along and were romping and racing and playing!  Here are some images from that session.

This is Grissom – going flat out!

Hunter on the left, Grissom on the right.

These dogs were going ‘full-tilt’ and it was difficult to get them without some blur!  But I love this shot!

A lovely Boxer – I didn’t get his name.

More of Hunter and Grissom – just look at the grin on Grissom’s face!  :-)

A 6 year old Dachshund…

A new dog arrives at the Park – the Golden Retriever has to check out the Dachshund!

A German Sheppard had to get to know the Poodle that just arrived!

And then, if you know me at all – I found other things to photograph!

There is one of the Park Benches just waiting for someone to sit a while…

The sky was such a gorgeous blue with white clouds, I turned my camera upwards!

After some wonderful meals and some great company I had to leave.   Inge served creamed leeks,  Orzo with capers, pine nuts and lemon zest,  and barbecued lamb for Supper one night – another night we had fresh Pickerel filets – oh, and I can’t forget the wonderful Hungarian Punch Torte for dessert!

My usual route is to go south on Hwy 75 and through Ste. Agathe.  I arrived at Ste. Agathe at 8:12 pm and saw the gorgeous setting sun shining on the spires of the church.  I just had to stop and take some photos.  I was just driving away, when I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw the most awesome sunset reflected in the river – so, once again I stopped to take a few photos.

Inge - We were at the same park at the same time and boy, did we see things differently! Love the shots of the ‘boys’, especially the one where they’re going full tilt! And the images of Ste. Agathe RC Church are simply outstanding. Talk about ‘sweet’ light!!!!! Just gorgeous!!!!

And thanks for the 5***** reviews of the dinners! :-)
