    Even though it is strictly pavement, the yellow light and atmosphere captured in the mirror reminds me of the song “Follow The Yellow Brick Road”. :)

    It's not often I run across a Marsh McLuhan quote and I'm delighted to do so here! how appropriate to the photo - and that's very cool too. as I like to say - Ooh la la.

    the 'quote' in the rearview mirror caught my attention this morning

    'objects in mirror are closer than they appear'

    trying to keep some distance from past events, perhaps letting the sun go down on them . . .

    an image for reflection indeed

    Having to be lived forward, only to understand backwards.


    Great picture indeed. Please have you all a good Friday.

    does that message in the mirror mean the future is closer than it seems or the past is not as important as we think? great pic hon, if you were in Austraia you would have had to be in the drivers seat to get that one! :)

    Ohmigosh, this is a STUNNING shot!

    You asked about what lens I used to get the honeybee pics ... I have a Canon PowerShot S3IS(bought at pawn shop) - and I just recently figured out how to use the Super Macro function. It's been so much fun - like having a brand new camera!
