perfect summer afternoon

this was the view that i was trying to shoot when mr. take-my-picture-i'm-famous kept on photobombing me. needed to be fast on the trigger, er...i mean shutter. remember that our van was in the farthest (left) lane of a four-lane roadway, and from the edge of the road to where these two sat would be the equivalent of a five-lane roadway.

i'm so glad i got her while her arm is raised like that. they must be telling each other stories and she was trying to emphasize what she was saying. the bicycle on the ground added some interesting aspect, didn't it? i could've etsooi'd this. but i like it as it is.

what do you think, my good friends?

This is a great candid shot. You can definitely tell she is right into the conversation. The bike is a nice addition to it and I really love the boats as a background

Boats a bike and a friend! What more does anyone need? Perfectly says summer

I like it. It looks like an afternoon of friends getting together talking about old times and enjoying the beautiful scenery and day.

Remins me of the start of the old TV series Gilligan's Island ;-)

[Maggiemae]

It tells a story and the location is important for the interest in this shot!
