191, 192, 193: RAINBOW

AFTER THE RAIN (OR BEFORE THE BIG STORM)

190. SWIMMING DEX

AW, DEX

my little guy loves swimming! it makes bryan happy to no end.

189. WET DOG

we took the dogs swimming this weekend...and while Dex loves flopping about in the water, our little princess, Dahlia, doesn't quite like getting her fur wet...

DAHLIA, DOING HER WET RAT IMPERSONATION

184, 185, 186, 187, 188: MAYOR FENTY

THROWING SOME BEADS

this is the mayor of dc, who is in a little bit of trouble right now, but i do think it is pretty awesome that he was out on the street throwing some beads at the gay pride parade. 

183. ANOTHER DQ

BELLE OF THE BALL

182. ONE WAY

ONE WAY

this was another one bryan took. i am choosing to believe that the one way sign in the background was an accidental capture, otherwise bryan is a much better photographer then i am.

181. REDUNDANT H2O

USELESS IN THE RAIN

it was kind of funny getting squirted in a rainstorm...

180. ON HER THRONE

DQ ADDRESSING HER PEOPLE

179. O PRIDE

OBAMA PRIDE

although it would have impressed me to no end to actually have seen him at the parade...i guess this will suffice. 

178. LOUNGE

BEING IN A PARADE IS HARD WORK

Bryan actually took this picture, but i am taking credit it for it because it is just awesome. the rain, the light, the subject, the framing...all awesome. i am jealous of this picture.  i was inside peeing. otherwise this would have been mine!!!!

177. COWBOYS, AGAIN

DOES THE HAT MAKE YOU A COWBOY?

like i said...shirtless men everywhere. i just take the pictures.

176. COWBOYS

HI-HO SILVER

it wouldn't be Pride without a shirtless dude or two.

175. TROMBONE

IN THE BIG PARADE

these guys were troopers...as the rain came down they kept on marching.

174. GIGI

GIGI COUTURE 

this is my all time favorite drag queen ever. i have a favorite drag queen. back in the day she used to know me by sight, and would always give me a big hug and kiss. it has been a few years, so i am not sure, but i think she actually recognized me right after i took this picture, i got a big smile and a hello. 

173. FAMILIES

MY FAMILY IS NORMAL TOO

i love the section of the parade that has the kids marching with their two mommies or two daddies. and the kids love walking in a parade...who wouldn't? Especially a crazy ass parade.

172. PROUD DOG

i am back! i needed a little photo mini break, and now i am ready to play catch up!

PROUD DOG

This was a dog at the DC Gay Pride Parade, which Bryan and I attended last saturday. There are a BUNCH of pictures to follow. some of them might be scandalous. so be ready!

mini-break

i took a mini-break! although i had actually gone ahead of the "around one a day for 365 days" thing...so i allowed myself to take a photobreak. the weather has been nutty! and there have been a few times i wish i had brought my camera (like when i was outside when the tornado began to hit our area, REALLY COOL!)

anyway, i shall start up again soon!

171. WINDOW WITH RUST

BULLET HOLE?

if anything, today has only furthered my desire to find some abandoned places to go take some pics...

170. WEB

WEB

169. CLOSE UP OF SOMETHING

NOT A HYDRANT

i really like the little green fleck near the top of this...

167, 168: NATIONAL STADIUM

NATS

my first trip to the new stadium. it looks really nice. from the outside. maybe next time i will go in if only it was open when there was no game going on.

166. RED BOX IN WINDOW

HEAVY RED BOX

it either says "heavy" or "heave" or something like that. i think. maybe.

POST

i haven't posted in a few days, but that is because i am ahead! and i have some new stuff to put up once it has been all cleaned and stuff.
