A few times a year here in San Francisco an event is held with the bold yet understandable subtitle "The Happiest Place On Earth."

That event is Corgi-Con, where hundreds if not thousands of Corgis and their loving owners descend onto Ocean Beach for a morning and afternoon of height challenged canine frolicking. With highlighted events such as the stubby-legged sand racing and the various costume contests, the energy in this place is something rebarkable to behold.

A few more balloons and we would have lost him to the wind.

"Will you be my friend?"

I'll never forget seeing a fellow enthusiast photographer struggling with a manual focus lens. Poor fellow; at least he was laughing about it and having a great day like just about every one there! I had my trusty Pentax K-3 with me and primarily used the 55-300mm kit lens with high apertures and quick shutter releases to capture the action near and far. It's quite sharp all the way out at 300. Occasionally I used my DA* 16-50mm for more intimate canine portraits or wide angle group shots.

LOL. Planet Corgi!

I love corgi but this is not my favorite breed. My favorite breed is Golden retriever. I don't know, if someone likes it or not. But I really like it.

Agreed. If there's ever a GR-con I. am. so. there.

oh nice puppies...
