The Long Drive Home...

Yup, I'm just goober enough to take pictures out the windows on the drive home. Especially since the clouds made for a spectacular vista the whole way.

We'd heard that the best pictures are taken from the middle of the road. So we tried it.

Beautiful pictures!
I love Cracker Barrel, after working night shift many of us would stop by there for breakfast on our way home when I lived in Oklahoma. Later that particular CB got swept away in a massive tornado!

Lovely photos!

So how'd you like Cracker Barrel? Did you order something fried or something truly Southern like buscuits and molasses? : )

How fun to have the ability to take extraordinary photos of simply ordinary things!

Keep 'em coming!

Love, love, LOVE the middle of the road photo. How awesome was that?!

And how did you get Big Dude to stop for you take that one? Bill would have been so annoyed with me.

Angie-
Easy. It was HIS idea. ;-) A picture he had in his head of "vanishing point" from looking in the rearview mirrors.
