Romping at the Dog Park: Photos of the Week

EL CERRITO, CA — "Walk? Dog Park?" If you're a dog owner, the quickest way to elicit an ecstatic reaction is to ask those questions. Some dogs will wake out of a sound sleep and leap to their feet, tail wagging and heading toward the door!

Patch reader Jane Violich sent these photos of a trip to the Point Isabel Dog Park that she snapped back in the spring. It's a beautiful, nearby outing and a great place for exercise. Especially if your kids have reached the "I'm bored" phase of summer.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.
We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring ‘em on.

Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
