Driving#Eyesopen#pics

I don't know about you but when I'm driving along and see something that catches my eye, I want to stop immediately and get that picture.  Along with this need for instant gratification might come an alarming bit of radical driving.... All I'm saying is that when I stop in the middle of the road (due to no turn-off or berm), I am merely taking the chance that no car will rear-end me or vise-versa.  That said, funky turn arounds and radical road run-offs can lead to:   A.  muddy wheels and tires   B. scaring the wildlife  C. auto wreckage  
D. a traffic citation or  E.  possibly the most idealistic photo one has ever thought of taking! The latter being a dream.  Yesterday for instance, I was caught at one hell of a spot.  Cars were zooming past the T intersection as I approached.  The farmer and tractor I wished to catch on camera were behind and to the right of me.  I could not pull out and stop in traffic and I could not reverse.  So what does one do in this defining moment?  Put the window down, point and shoot... Yes, while driving!  Now I know this photo most likely won't be salvageable.  But I guess the point is:  Devotion!  Love!  Rapture! And a little bit of crazy.  

Cheers!
