Dogtober Festival

This energetic guy was practicing for the Atascadero Dogtober Festival dogs races in the Sunken Garden park during the Colony Days celebration.  I'm not sure what place he won, but he sure was fast.

Big Cat

I like this photo of the cat sculpture at Sculpterra Winery.  He looks to be stalking something through the tall grass.

Garden Art

Here is a detail of interesting shapes and shadows, in black and white, from the garden.

Black & White, or Color

Detail, to the photographic eye, looks good in either black and white or color.

Templeton Sunsets, Round 2

These photos from the weekend are from west of Templeton off Las Tablas Road.  The sunset was limited to only a little section of the sky, but it lit up the vineyards and grasses quite well.
