Jules and Chopper had never met my grandfather so I was anxious to introduce them. Unsurprisingly, everyone got along great and the hike was wonderful. As we were all walking around, I decided to…

Locust Point Dog Park/ Optimus Prime Part III
Recently Jules and I took Marcy and Chopper to the Latrobe Park Dog Park in Locust Point, Baltimore, MD. Locust Point is right next to Federal Hill in Baltimore, so we can actually walk our dogs to the dog park. This time at the dog park I brought along my new 50mm f1.8 prime lens…
