Nostalgic... brings back those days of lying in the the back window of the Bonneville when the family was traveling from SC to TN and back. Those barns were everywhere.

She's absolutely beautiful. We had a white German Shepherd... Whysper reminds me of him. Love the story about her... very funny.

Ah, yes... also in Kansas. Really, a great image for you to be taking while driving. And no shiny lights, huh? Astonishing! Great composition, too!

Great detail and bokeh. What great teeth she has! (The better to eat you?)

Just a wonderful story and I am sitting here in England laughing my head off, though I am not sure whether its more at your daughter's banner waving (ha if I saw that at the window of a car I would be sure to never cut the driver up) or the fact that you got savaged by GIZMO!!!!! Oh the shame!!!!

Also thinki its wonderful that despite your gruff exterior you love and pride in your daughter and her work just shines through here

Glad you had a safe journey. I love coming across weird little things like this on my travels. Excellent 'out of place' colours

it does have that "sleepy part of the day and the sleepy part of the drive, put it on cruise control and count cows till the next town" sort of feel to it!
