The modern garbage picker

Time was, when garbage pickers were wretched souls who ventured out in the pre-dawn hours pushing a "borrowed" supermarket cart in which to stow their treasure. Times have changed.

I was just coming back to the house after picking up my mail when I heard a vehicle pulling up behind me. I didn't recognize it and I thought I would just check on it after I got indoors. I was surprised to find that the driver was garbage picking. I have seen people riding quite expensive mountain bikes to cover the area, but this is the first garbage picker I have seen who collects her harvest courtesy of a Lincoln Navigator. I couldn't resist taking the shot. The light burst was a bonus :)
