The High Heel Race in Washington’s Dupont Circle is a spectacle of joy. Taking place the Tuesday before Halloween, the 30-year old tradition has evolved to being as much for families as for anyone looking for a walk on the wild side. It ranks up there with the Funk Parade as an event we enjoy photographing. After a season of taking pictures at events protesting Trump, all joyous but with an undertone of seriousness, this year’s event was pure delight.

The light at The Mother Hips free concert in Driggs, ID was literally golden, with none of the haze from the heat that’s been affecting the West of late filtering out the yellow. We came across a stand where hula hoops were hanging. It was a gorgeous evening in America.
