On the road by maggiemae

On the road

Sitting in bed, I heard a funny putt putt sound out on the road. Then another! Looked, and there were vintage cars going past! I shot out of bed, put my big fluffy scarlet dressing gown on and ran to the gate barefoot over gravel - ouch! Snapped a few more then the battery expired! Grabbed my iPhone and was able to take one more which was the best. I didn't have motion settings on my camera.

Three good things;
1. I got lots of smiles and waves but no whistles!
2 .Broiled a silverside in the oven - so tender!
3. Rude Rugby songs
Smiles and waves are good. Funny story, lucky you got your shot :)

Loved to see this one.....such an unusual sight to see & the colours are very pretty. That was a good catch maggiemae, not something you see every day! They would be pleased to see you in your red dressing gown! Surprised no one whistled though....they have no appreciation!!

@lesip because my great camera closed down with the word, "battery expired"! It meant over the gravel with bare feet - ouch- and back again!
January 31st, 2015  
Love this. I use my iPad for all my shots and am on the whole pleased with what I can do with it😊

@andreajoy John's iPad is amazing as is the iPhone6! But I like the manual control of my camera!

Love this shot, Maggie! I am an antique car buff. This is awesome! I would have run out barefoot as well! I hope your feet are okay! Fav!

The car picks up the red of the blossoms (or seed heads?) on a couple of the trees. I'm trying to imagine another hit of red from your dressing gown!
February 1st, 2015  
@tristansmum The red on the trees are rowan berries! The red on me is something I cannot hide!
February 1st, 2015  
Superb capture of the car. You would have missed it without the dressing gown to hand! Photos come first.
February 1st, 2015  
Looks like something out of yesteryear! You are brave- I can't run on my driveway or yard of rocks and gravel at all!
