I remember Fondy saying he'd start a thread like this, but since he didn't, I will.

Let's see your shots you thought didn't make the cut!

I spent a few days trying to think of a good shot for this month's contest and had afew ideas, but nothing really striking. At first I thought "spring cleaning" but the shots just didn't really pan out that well. For the last few years, I have taken a road trip every spring to places unknown. I just point the car in one direction and drive until the tank is empty, spend the night at a hotel near where I end up and head home. I can't afford to do that this year, but I can still find the open road near home.

Jon, that second pic under the tree, is INSANE. All of those pics are great.

Thanks!
I ruled that pic out as soon as Morticia entered. No need for two black cars under pink trees, right

Here are a few of mine that didn't make the contest...

I LOVE this one! I like the moisture pattern on the door and just the look of the dewy hazy spring morning...

**novawagonmaster** · 05-17-2009, 12:23 AM

Thanks!
The moisture on the sides of the car was from the hot exhaust on the wet grass. When I first climbed out of the car, there was a brief cloud of steam coming out both sides. Good thing the grass was nice-n-wet...could have been a fire otherwise!
