Albarda Family - Edmonton Family Photography

Hank Albarda has one of the nicest yards I have ever seen. It definitely puts my two flower pots to shame! But it was a great location for some family photos, which is where I met up with Hank, his daughter Beatrix and their kitty last week. Thanks for having me over!  And sorry I dismantled your sitting room and left before putting the furniture back! I felt guilty about that all weekend. Hope you like the photos!

Here are a couple of bonus photos featuring Kiss Kiss. The last one cracks me up! This was the only way the cat would look at me....holding her head straight to the camera.

I am supposed to be doing some work right now, but World Cup soccer is on and I am finding it hard to concentrate. I don't even like the teams that are playing in this match! But this tournament only comes around every four years, so I am going to soak up as much as I can. (And in case anyone cares I am cheering for Italy)

So before I completely abandon my computer for the rest of the day, here are a few cats up for adoption at the Edmonton Humane Society. I was in this past weekend to take photos and it was the first time I had seen empty cat cages and rooms. During the previous weekend, the EHS held its first Certified Pre-Owned Cats Adoption Event. Click on the link to read more about it. But needless to say, it was a huge success. However, the shelter is starting to fill up again.

I particularly love this first kitty cause her eyes remind me of the colour of Italy's jersey ;)

I had a good day at the Edmonton Humane Society yesterday. I remembered my allergy pills and the cats all behaved! Normally the cats want nothing to do with me, but yesterday they were all rathered interested in the camera. At last check (on the EHS's adoption website) all of these cute little guys are still available for adoption. The two little dogs were part of the most recent California Cuties program that rescues small dogs from overstuffed shelters in the Fresno area and flies them to Edmonton (along with warm winter sweaters) for adoption here. Since small dogs are not often up for adoption in Edmonton, this program has been very popular and quite successful! There are also a lot of beautiful cats waiting for their forever homes. I think I photographed at least five with gorgeous, bright blue eyes! And wrapping up the pack is a blue budgie that seemd quite nonchalant with the big black camera poking through his cage.
