Always Keep Your Windshield Clean

These babies appeared from nowhere, waved, posed, then disappeared again. The lesson of the day: conscientious DPers must always keep the windshield clean. Grape Escape Cafe parking lot, Richmond, yesterday.

Absolutely fantastic!
Such a great capture! Your dirty windscreen adds that touch of mystery. So very well done!

Ben was laughing like a hyena yesterday at his "Post No Bills" post.

Nice one, I love it!

Nikon said...

Very nice shot - the kids holding the "masks", nice composition.

Piika said...

wow what a great shot - you were in the right place at the right time!

Helen said...

How adorable!

isabella said...

Point well taken!
Funny shot...

Delightful photo Meg. The kids seem to be having such a good time. I agree, the spots on the windshield give a bit of arty atmosphere to the shot.

Kalyan said...

Wonderfully captured shot!

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you for your visits, people. What can I say, all credit to these kids, really.

Even with the dirty windshield, it's a great shot...and I like it with the dirt too. :-)

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you, Kuayin. I guess in this case, it worked, eh?

Now, come on, Meg, admit it, you let your windshield dirtying up that artfully on purpose (little computer programm on the side, Ben???). :-)))
Love those kids in their shopping bag masks, reall great shot! (Keeping your camera at the ready has really paid of!)

Ben said...

I haven't done anything on her shot... I washed window while driving in that morning, so it left that mark where wiper does not reach.

The boy in front start waving to us. So, I stop my car and waving back while she's preparing and taking this shot.

I like the shot, too.

Meg in Nelson said...

You caught me there, Merisi, I do carry portable dirt in a spray bottle! Just so cute, aren't they?

Merisi's Vienna For Beginners said...

Ben:
Sheer serendipity with a bit of low tec and cooperation = great photo! (Reminds me of the circumstances in which Ansel Adams caught the "Moonrise over Hernandez".)
Meg:
Must have been some suspenseful moments while you were trying to aim: Will they stay or not? And yes, they are really cute. :-)
Congratulations both!

Funny kids! How lucky that you happened to have the spray-on dirt and a camera ready beside you to capture the little jokers.

Meg in Nelson said...

Merisi, it was. I didn't want them to go away, but I think the child in the front knew I was getting my camera out so he stopped walking. I only got one shot, so if this didn't work, it would have been just another story!

Annulla, absolutely lucky!
