No worries, Ellie. There were many other folks there, with and without dogs. I timed my photos and . . . they were not all taken on the same day because I couldn't always get the shot I wanted, he hee!

Today being Saturday, and sunny and close to 70, there were many folks out in their back yards as well, doing yard work etc. It isn't nearly as "desolate" as it appears in these pics!
