Men at Work on a Water Tower along Orange Road

We were driving back from the store and I was in the third seat of the van with two of the grandchildren.

My DIL said, quick get your camera. There are men painting the water tower.  d-e-l-a-w (a- r -e)  I think.

Talk about fleeting moment, she was about to fly by and I was stuck in the back of the van.

She said, I’ll slow down ( going about 45mph) Ha.  Somehow I shot through the back window’s glass. You can see the reflection of a white fence.  I had the 24-70 lens on the camera.

The one we scraped the stickers off the window just recently. Good thing. I can’t imagine working that high off the ground.

  1. Gee, Ruth. You’ve got your entire family trained and looking for “shots.” And i agree with you about heights. I could never work that high off the ground. Never.

  10. I’ve said it before, and I’ll most likely say it again: you are lightening fast with that camera of yours! I think you would have made a bad-ass cowboy in the Wild West (drawing pistols from their holsters and all).
