Funny Story...

... I had been keeping an eye on the sky. It was looking as if it was going to develope some nice color. I grabbed my gear, raced out of the house and headed for the river 8 miles away. As we all know- the color never lasts long so I was driving pretty fast.... until I saw the police car.... and he saw me. I knew I was had- so I pulled over before he had the chance to turn on his lights and hit the siren. He asked if I was in a hurry- I said, "Well- I was." He asked why and I explained about the sunset. He asked if I had ever gotten some good shots. I showed him a few prints that I happened to have along. Either he was impressed or felt sorry for me, "well- I don't want to hold you up- drive safe." And he turned and walked away- no ticket!!! Nice- it would have been an expensive one.... but it did make me miss out on the best colors- oh well... win some, lose some...
