There is a reason that, when I visit my mom in the Bay Area, I always drive down to Point Isabel.

Actually there are  lots of reasons. Great views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate… and dogs…

Lots of dogs…

Oodles and hordes and scads of dogs.

If I am away from Shiloh, our dog, I like to meet other dogs… and pet them. Shiloh doesn’t mind. I didn’t break any records like I did that time I set the world record for most dogs petted in one day… search the post… but I met a lot of nice dogs.

I didn’t take pictures of the dogs while I was petting them like I normally do, because I had the zoom lens on the camera, and that doesn’t work well for closeups. It does work well for pictures like that one up there…

And that one, that I took later from my mom’s house.
