I've had this in my back pocket for a while; story behind it a bit embarrassing--

I had driven by this barn many times, never had my camera with me. One morning I decided to fire up my 'pig', (Harley), and go shoot this barn. Parked my pig, got my gear out and went into my own little world walking around, enjoying the landscape. Started to photograph, took one shot, (this is it), then a police officer snuck up behind me, startled me, and I was saying, 'Holy Shix' as I was turning around. Face to face with big bad gruff, I was ordered to turn around, lace my fingers on the back of my head as I was under arrest for trespassing. I went into shock, but when he started frisking me I thought, now this ain't so bad, then got tickled at myself for thinking such a thought, that is when my crazy took over.

LowRider to Officer, "Is it my turn now?"
Officer ignorin' me--
LowRider, "Ya missed a few spots."
Officer snickered--
LowRider, "Same time, same place next week?"
Officer, "Ouite, lady."
LowRider, "I ain't no lady, name's Ralph, spelled Ralf."
Officer, "Your name is Debra, and you are sure a piece of work!"
LowRider, "Welp, friends call me Ralf".
Officer writing something, next door neighbor drives up, laughing, yelled, 'How ya doin', Deb?"
LowRider to neighbor, "Got him under control, go find your way home Arlie."
About three minutes later another neighbor, "Throw tha book at 'er!"
LowRider to second neighbor, "When I git out tha pen, I will show you NO mercy Doug!"
LowRider to officer, "Is it my turn yet?"

Officer Jacobson dropped his arms to his side laughing hysterically, said, "Walk with me, Ralph, spelled R-A-L-F."

Went to see the property owners up the hill to explain why I was there, all ended with a laughin' session. Got home, all I could muster for dinner was BLT's, hubby walks in, laughing his "A" off, said, " Here ya had a great day!" (Both neighbors had called him at work.)

LowRider, "Ya know, Arlie and Doug just thought it was so damx funny, like it made their day. What if I really needed them?"
Hubby, (Mike), "Baby, everybody that knows you, knows you need no help when it comes to dealing with a man!"

Tellin' on myself like this, I am exhausted all over again--think popcorn tonight-
