Poor Booge got left behind.
Booge and his buddy, a beautiful white Siberian Husky, were out running and having a great time when they were impounded by Walton County Animal Control on April 1, 2019. Thankfully they had microchips and the officer called the owner right away to claim them. But in a strange turn of events, Booge’s owner came and claimed the husky, but left Booge behind. Booge sat and waited for over a week but they never returned. So on April 10, I had the privilege of making Booge’s Furtography session happen! He was a sweet boy and did well with the camera. When told to sit, he did exactly that! Photo sessions are so much easier with a compliant subject! Two days later, on April 12, Booge got his lucky day and was rescued by Washington Wilkes DAWGS rescue! He had a lot of people pulling for him. Donations were made to the rescue by Booge’s generous sponsors: Alice, Lisa, Tara, Andrea and Anne.
Giant, gorgeous, and with great personalities… that’s Great Pyrenees dogs for you! And “Willow” was no different. She was turned in as a stray to the Walton County Animal Control shelter in Georgia on April 9, 2019. The finder had her a few days, but could not find her owner.
Her quick in-the-kennel photograph got her some immediate rescue and adoption applications, so she probably didn’t really need a Furtography session. But I was on a roll photographing dogs that morning and always enjoy working with these giant white fluff ball Pyrenian Mountain Dogs! During our photo session, the morning sunrise burst over the rim of the world and bathed one portrait in a glorious glow, capturing a spark of warm light in her eyes. "Willow" had her lucky day and was picked up from the shelter on April 15, 2019 by Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta! Jason made a generous pledge to the rescue for saving her. "Willow" didn't really need a glamour photo session to find a new home, but it was a privilege to photograph this gorgeous girl anyway!
"Cash" was picked up stray April 5, 2019. He was rescued by Pound Puppies N Kittens Rescue on April 22, 2019!
American Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus or Rana catesbeiana, found in a small koi pond in Athens, Clarke County, Georgia. It inhabits large water bodies, such as swamps, ponds, and lakes, where it is usually found along the water`s edge. Native to southern and eastern parts of the United States and Canada. The weather is warming and the days are getting longer. I can finally start enjoying Sunday sit-downs on my back patio! It is time to clean the dead leaves and algae from my backyard koi pond, not to mention the incredible amounts of pine pollen that clog the filters each spring. As I start the process, I found a large visitor has returned. I have no idea where it over-winters, but it is already back and living the good life!
This native American Bullfrog is quite common here in Georgia and throughout North America. It should be no big surprise to find it in my koi pond since one source states, "Bullfrogs can also be found in manmade habitats such as pools, koi ponds, canals, ditches and culverts." Each summer it spends its days sitting on the decorative stones only to make a quick and dramatic splash into the water each time we come out onto the back patio. Of course, I am never one to pass up a good nature photography opportunity. So as I am able to net this large amphibian while cleaning the pond, I took it to the side for a quick photo session in a more natural setting.
"Charcoal" was a handsome black pitbull dog that was picked up by an animal control officer on March 16, 2019. He spent quite a long time in the shelter but was finally adopted into a new home on April 6, 2019!
Williamwisephoto Nature Notes is a wildlife, landscape, birding and nature photography blog documenting the wonders of God’s creation. -- Jeremiah 8:7 "Even the stork that flies across the sky knows the time of her migration, as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane. They all return at the proper time each year." I had two opportunities for some lunchbreak birding this week to note some of the comings and goings of the spring migration.
"Toby" was picked up stray by an animal control officer on March 26, 2019. He was rescued by Second Chance Habitat on April 2, 2019! Thanks Jason, Gael, Maria, Eileen, Julie, Donna, Anne and Kay for sponsoring!
