Market Days in Georgetown, Texas

Through November, the Downtown Georgetown Association hosts Market Days on the scenic square in Georgetown, Texas.   Market Days are held the second Saturday of each month.   Yesterday, I visited the square to record the action.   Fredericksburg peaches, now in season, were available to shoppers looking for something healthy, Texas-grown, and sweet.  Dogs in strollers were leading the good life, too.  Thankfully, the normally sizzling Texas summer heat has been held at bay, at least for a while.   It was all good yesterday.  One touching moment near the end of my day of image-making was meeting the mom of a 7-year-old boy who recently underwent a liver transplant.   That little guy is shown in the final photo of this post.  The transplant was performed March 30, but he’s making remarkable progress.   He’d love to have a dog though, maybe one like Rascal, available for adoption at the Georgetown Animal Shelter.   Shelter volunteers were on hand at the square to encourage taking home a pet.  Alas, mom would love to have a dog for her young man, but money is tight and so is space in their apartment.   I hope he gets his dog someday soon though.   He deserves it.  These photos were taken for my buddies at the Williamson County Sun.
