Dogs are awesome. There is very little that makes me happier than hanging out with a bunch of dogs. So it was with great delight that I photographed the City of Alexandria’s Doggie Day Swim yesterday at the Old Town Pool. It was packed and there were dogs everywhere, which was totally fantastic. Their owners were pretty cool people, too.
Those Tuesday-after-a-holiday days, they are very sneaky. You think you can get away with not posting and then you realize you have committed to do your “on the web” roundup. So instead of having a new photo, here’s proof that my husband thinks I’m totally awesome. And yes, my link roundup for the week.
Ah, the RenFest. Honestly, I was both disappointed and impressed with the festival. Not quite as many over-the-top enthusiasts as might have thrilled me, but at the same time, quite an impressive showing by the festival producers. I hadn’t been to a renfest since I was a little kid. The buildings, characters and overall showmanship are excellent. But like most of the world, the people-watching is the best part.
