The city of Austin, Texas, is home to a well trodden but unofficial gathering place for leash-averse dogs. Eighty acres, hundreds of dogs; these are my stories.

Wildflower of the Day
The spring rains may have come too late for the bluebonnets this year, but the Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) are taking advantage of it. It's a banner year for these flowers at the Dog Park. These images are from all around the Park.
The Dog Park is an unofficial leash-free zone where dozens of dogs daily defy the law under live oak and pecan trees. Names in this blog may have been changed or obscured to protect the innocent and the easily offended.

About the Dog Parkist
The Dog Parkist is an occasional contributor to this blog. She is a highly sensitive and ethical individual whose purpose in life is to set things straight and people on the road to enlightenment.

The flowers are looking *especially pretty* these days - lots of humid weather keeping them happy.
