Ashland’s Dog Bar
I didn’t know Ashland had a dog bar until a couple days ago. I just purchased a new camera which I went out to test. As I was looking for subject matter to photograph in front of the Ashland Springs Hotel (Lark’s actually) I spotted this dog bar. I have probably walked past this spot a hundred times or more and never noticed the dog bar. That’s one thing I like about photography. It forces you to see more.
Here is a wider shot so you can see why I may not have previously discovered it. I bent down to try it out and, sure enough, it works. I didn’t drink out of it, of course, but the button in the leaf does produce a flow of water.
BTW, these are the first D7000 photos (of many to come) on Ashland Daily Photo. As you can tell from the second photo, I’m still getting used to my new Nikon. I messed the shot up by focusing on the leaves of the plant instead of focusing on the dog bar. I’ll get better.
