ADVENTURES IN PROSPECT PARK

Last week, I started some of my days with a walk to Prospect Park and back. I found the spot where dog owners go to let their pups off leash.

What an adorable site - all these amazing creatures bounding around while the humanfolk chat.

What grabbed my attention was one woman who had four dogs. One of them kept coming over to me so I could throw her toy to her.

She (the owner) is Jane Seltzer and her two passions are dogs and roadside architecture. Check out her blog, Roadside Architecture, adorable pics of her dogs, and her homepage.

NEXT BROOKLYN BLOGADE: JULY 27 IN PROSPECT PARK

What: Brooklyn Blogade Picnic In Prospect Park

When: Sunday, July 27thTime: 12:00 noon - 3:00pm (walking tour @ 11:00 am)

Who: Brooklyn bloggers, prospective bloggers, their family and friends

Brenda of Prospect: A Year in the Park and Dave of Dope on the Slope are co-hosting this month's Brooklyn Blogade Roadshow, which will be held in Prospect Park near the Music Pagoda (map).

Brenda will be offering a guided walking tour of the park prior to the picnic (meeting point TBA). Learn why the park serves as an "oasis for the city soul," the title of a recent New York Times article describing Brenda's labor of love.

There is no charge for the event, although we are soliciting volunteers to bring food (see below) and will be passing the hat to defray expenses.

Come share Brooklyn's backyard with your fellow bloggers. Friends and family welcome, but please let us know you're coming so we can gauge how much jello salad to bring.

Please RSVP at blogade.rsvp@gmail.com.

If you are interested in helping with food, please e-mail me.
