 The notes!

I was shopping at Trader Joe's and there was this woman who was wearing a long, blue satin dress and a blue satin head dress - kind of like a nun, or she could have been an out-there kind of Muslim - I don't know, but she was something to behold. She wore two rows of white pearls and high heals.

When I sat in my car getting ready to leave, she came out and had someone help her load her car with groceries. The two of them were talking and I could see them in my rear view mirror.

So, naturally, I took some photos. The sun was shining wildly into my windshield - thus the almost white-out around the mirror.

Go Alicia! Major capture and great notes.

When presented with an opportunity like this, I can never get my camera to focus in time.

That's quite the story - these things always make me want to find out more. I like the perspective you took this from; it gives it the feel of a real slice of life.
