In The Kingdom of Dogs - II

Today I have visited Olga Kukunova and her dogs. You can read about my previous visit here. Puppies grew up a bit and look more wonderful. Some of them found their home since my visit in February. I can only fell happy about it.
Today I have photographed the res of pups - Tim, Tom and Faddey. Unfortunately, Businka has not been able to participate due to state of health. But she is quite okay, I can assure you! Soon she will be ready to any photo-session. Here I'd like to share today's photos. I have taken less pictures that the last time because someonesdrank our coffee and ate our bisquits. Guess who were these barking trinity :)

My father is all-mighty

A week ago I went to very positive event for families. It was called "My Father can do everything" and was specially made for fathers though the whole family could help a father to pass each competition.This contest included a hockey match for fathers and kids, darts, juggling, twisting a hulahoop. Everything finished with tug-of-war, counting the points and giving prizes to the winners

In The Kingdom of Dogs

Yesterday I had the most positive shooting. The founders of the charitable Fund "Giving Hope" asked me to make photos of grown-up puppies.These pups now live in the private house of their official web-site editor   Olga Kukunova. Their story is banal. They were born and nobody needed them from the first day. So the former owner just took them to the forest and left there. Luckily they were found and now they are healthy and joyful and live in loving place.

Winter, winter...

As this winter is not going to leave us, we have many interesting events which can happen only this cold season.  For example last weekend inhabitants of my town again met speedvay tournament. I have already written about it in this post >>>
This time I didn't go to the stadium. I preferred to go to the waterpool for swimming. But as the stadium is close to the pool and I was with my camera I came up and watched how riders pulled out from the hangar to the start point. I made several pics


Speedway is very popular in my town from the very first time it took place here in 1995. People fill the stadium every year in February. People watch speedway even from the fence.

Sparrows and their friend

Today I've come to the market to buy some foods. I took my camera. Everything because there was a place on my way where sparrows and doves usually eat from the bird table and I wanted to capture this moment. This time I was especially lucky as among sparros there was one white crow. One of two white crows which live in my town.

Winter's tale

I made some new shots starting from the beginning of January. They all were kept on my PC. So at last I decided to share them in this milestone hundredth post.

This year we have wonderful winter: it's frosty, fresh, sunny and there's too much snow everywhere. Everybody's glad. Poeple can go skiing, ice-skating and ride in sleighs from hills.

One Winter Day at The Call of The Wild Shelter

Today after a very long pause I have finally visited the shelter for dogs. I couldn't get there due to many different reasons: I got a flu, I was busy or I couldn't find a person with a car.
Though today I've been there! I've taken all presents for dogs which I used to collect at home since September. It all occupied two big bags. There were toys, food, blankets and little tasty treats...
In all that concerned the trip itself, we've been lucky to have a wonderful weather for a whole day. It's been suuny, snowy but not so cold as usual. So we've spent a good time in the shelter. We took some dogs for a walk. I was happy to walk with my lovely dog named Wolf

Below I am going to share some photos with you. They all were made with a help of my iPhone because I had a little difficulty with my camer (my fault).

Around Summer

Some of my friends often ask me why I spend my time in the shelter for homeless dogs. I often answer that it's interesting and brings me lots of joy. And the dogs are really wonderful.
Besides animals themselves this business gives me opportunity to meet interesting and talented people. For example yesterday I visited the exhibition of 2 painters Maria Smerchinskaya and Irina Belyaeva.
They called the exhibition "Around Summer". Their aim was to share some warmth with the visitors and I think they succeded. Their pictures are really warm and sunny and look like pieces of summer.
The exhibition was charitable and all money which was gathered there, was then transferred to the account of the shelter for its needs. Besides painters organised a little auction where they sold a picture by Maria Smerchinskaya and again the money was directed to the shelter. Total amount was 35,000 RUR

Ski Cup in Krasnogorsk 2012

This winter we have terrifying frost everywhere. Though in my home town this weekend we have a Ski tournament and many people visited it because skiing is a really favourite sport for our inhabitants.
The tournament itself gathered many sportsmen including some Olympic Games participants and winners of number of Championships.
I also visited this race and liked it.
