Riley
It’s hard to beat puppies, kittens or other baby animals for photographic charisma. Riley is Jack’s brother. Jack was a photo of the week on week 27.
You can see all of Riley’s photos as well as Jack’s and many others at www.dustyroadsphotos.zenfolio.com
It’s been a good week for photos and that means chosing the Photo of the week was a challenge but there’s an old saying for entertainers: ” you never want to follow animals or children”, meaning, of course, that they have a cute-ness factor that will always make them the star.
So it was with this week. No matter how many times I went back to the fountains, trains, clowns, ferris wheels to review and consider them, today’s choice always drew me back. So here it is…the photo of the week…that precious chocolate lab puppy named Jack.
Provincetown or P-Town as its known locally is located at the very tip of Cape Cod. It’s not a short drive to get there by any means but it is a unique destination. For one thing it’s home to the Dolphin Fleet, a well-known whale watch tour company. I’m told they are very successful with their trips out to Stellwagon Banks.
The town itself is very touristy, known for its arts and crafts think “Artist Colony”. A favorite trait of the town is it’s pet (read dog) friendly policy. Shops up and down Commerce Street have water bowls out for your leashed pets. We even saw a dog pulling his owner while the owner rode his skateboard..shades of Cesar Millan (Dog Whisperer) .
The other thing that P-Town is known for is gay pride. It is very accepting of alternate lifestyles. There are families and children side by side with lesbian couples and gay men. It’s a relaxed and easy atmosphere. Everyone is friendly.
We ate a Mojo’s, a little take out restaurant twice that day. Once for lunch and again for dinner. Lunch for me was a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich on whole wheat and dinner was the fried scallop plate. Lightly breaded, moist fresh scallops. Makes my mouth water just to think of it.
The day started out cloudy and cool and never really warmed up but eventually the sun did come out. We spent a relaxing day just wandering the town and the wharf area. No shopping this trip just enjoying the sights and indulging in a photo taking orgy.
