Lucy with Rain, one of her oldest friends from the Mason District dog park. Even with that thick, black coat, Rain can out-play Lucy in the hottest temperatures. Don’t be fooled by her panting and horizontal position…90% of the time Rain is on the move while Lucy stands just like this. Lazy girl.

This was taken at Ben Brenman Park in Alexandria, Virginia.
Growing up, I remember the property on which the park sits as Cameron Station, the army base—it is now Cameron Station, a planned community. Designed as a tribute to the styles of 18th and 19th century American architecture, it is reminiscent of Old Town Alexandria, located just a few miles east.
The larger park includes one of Lucy‘s favorite dog parks and is the setting for some of my other “skies.”
