Talking just a few pics when something happened by

So, after doing some errands today for my other car, I'm driving home and see the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and the Budweiser Semi-trailers at my local Hy-Vee. Turns out they are in town for the air show this weekend in KC. So, needless to say I ran home grabbed my camera and jumped in the Mustang. Thankfully I keep it clean, so little to no work on that end to get it "ready".



Turns out the hardest part was trying to anticipate the way they would walk around the parking lot as well as trying to stage my car so that they would walk very close by all the while avoiding additional cars and people to get a good shot (can you say "pain in the ***"?). The first lap by I had the car positioned perfectly, only to give up too early that it wasnt gonna come by, so I moved it. Then BAM, it did go by....so the car wasnt in a very good position (all the while dodging the idiot driving the senior citizen van driving and trying to manuver while I'm trying to position for a good shot).




Finally, I moved it to near the trailers that I knew they'd have to go to unload and unhitch them all. The only problem then was to get a few pics before too many people grouped up.



Anyway, sorry for so many pics....just one of those things you chance upon. But since I hadn't seen anyone post pics infront of them before, I figured I just had to. =]
