Coming right at ya!

There are still a few places here in town where the trees have not yet disposed of all their leaves and the colors are pretty vibrant.   In most of the area, like my neighborhood, the once-flourishing trees have changed to bare branches with their bountiful leaves now taking space as large piles in the street.   I went out to where we lived after we first moved to the Monroe area in 2008.   The property had four, very large, empty houses that once were the residents of an extended family, similar to a compound of sorts.   We were lucky enough to rent one of them and had essentially the whole estate to ourselves.   While it would take a couple of days just to mow the yard, having our own playground and field to play in was worth it.  They were situated in a circle accessed by a quarter mile-long driveway shaded on both sides by rows of trees.   It was neat driving home each day back then as if I was back in the deep south, driving up Magnolia Lane at Augusta during the Masters golf tournament (as if I've ever really done that).   I took a few pictures of the trees against the road and even had a couple of low angled, perspective shots.   As I continued that, I thought it would be neat to take a few pictures of our car in the midst of all of that and try to make it feel like one of those car commercials.   While it's far from the quality of advertising media, I thought it made a good photo story with our car as the subject looking as if it was coming right at me.
