“The pessimist sees challenges in every opportunity and the optimist sees opportunities in every challenge.”
~Winston Churchill
“Sunday driver!” we’d shout in fun at the slowpoke car in front of us.
Growing up, the term “road rage” hadn’t been invented yet. So when we kids were bouncing along in the back seat (that was before seat belts!) while Daddy drove and Mommy sat beside him, holding the baby in her lap (before mandatory car seats, too!)…we’d simply giggle and yell “Sunday driver!” as Daddy sped by the poky car ahead of us.
Ah, one more sweet memory…and yet another “Bits ‘n Pieces” of my life!
My friend is a wonderful photographer, and he continually amazes me with the images he produces from the inside of his car. While we all know that texting while driving is illegal, nobody ever told Steve he couldn’t shoot while cruising down the highway!
Yesterday as my husband and I were running errands, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, revealing a beautiful autumn morning. I thought of my friend and tried emulating his technique. While I can’t claim his fame…these were, after all, shot from the passenger side of the vehicle…they were taken as we traveled down the highway at 50 m.p.h.
Steve…these are for you! J
