Taking the dog for a walk around the lake

Staying active and getting fresh air is difficult these days, but Luke Lockwood managed to find some open space to take his dog Hercules for a walk around The Lakes in Menifee.

"Just a boy and his dog keeping each other company during these times that we’re in," wrote Luke's father Doug, who took the photo. "It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters."

Doug is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.
