This shot was taken in Balboa Park in San Diego a few weeks ago when we were having some glorious weather. (Don’t get me started on the weather phenomenon in Southern California called May Grey and June Gloom).

This shot taught me a lesson (which I’m destined to have to learn over and over): Always have your camera with you, and be prepared to pull it out on a moments notice. I really like to document dogs in all types of situations and I often kick myself when I don’t bring my camera on a particular day. Those days are inevitably rich in interesting dog photo opportunities.

I’m also excited because it looks like I’m going to have a dedicated photo session in Balboa Park late next month for the cutest couple and their new baby Puggle. Keep an eye out.
