I found my spot. My official favorite spot of this new place. In Utah, that place is Sundance, in Austin, that place is Redbud Island. It is a little island, smack dab in the middle of the Brazos, about 5 minutes from downtown. Dogs are welcome off leash, meaning that the minute the car door opens (and that can take a while, this place has worse parking than a baptist church), they are off - free to run through the woods, jump in the river, swim, shake, play all they want. It is their Disneyland.
As a human, you must like dogs to really appreciate this place. No, you must love them. I was shooting some engagments last night and the couple really wanted a scenic, woodsy location. I suggested Red Bud, yet immediately hearing the chick wasn't exactly a dog person. You go, you are going to get slobbered on, mudded on, shaken water on, the whole nine yards, and I happen to love it. She ended up thinking it was beautiful but squealed everytime a furry friend came to give her a sniff. eh - it was good for her.
Woodrow likes the woods and squirrel potential but wont put a toe in the water and if a big lab come running down the path with a big stick in its mouth, he jumps in my arms and shakes like the true warrior he is - we are working on it.
I just love this spot of nature in the middle of a busy city, a city I might add, that already has my heart. I feel like I've come home after a really long time away.
