Raindrops keep falling on my head



For our connecting flight to Chicago, we made a quick stop in Dallas. It was raining that day. Before the plane left the gate, I gazed out the window and saw the perfect photo for weekend reflections. I quick grabbed my camera and snapped it. I think this guy pushes the plane away from the gate. Yeah. He's pretty strong.



I was happy with that photo, then enter stage left (or is it stage right, I can never get that right!) Mr. I'm-feeling-like-a-Chiquita-banana-Guy here. Yowzer! There's no missing him!

  13. We have been getting a BIT of rain lately so I must get myself out into it and see what there is to be found. I like this pair, especially the second one where the yellow jump suit fairly pops out of the frame.

  15. Banana guy made me laugh! I think I might buy a costume like that for when I take a group of children out on a day trip from school. I wouldn't need to feel anxious about any of them losing me!

  20. See what happens when you pay attention and wait. The guy in the banana suit transforms an ordinary scene into a good photograph. Nice job Pat.

  21. The first reflection is great, but when Mr. Chiquita enters it really gets colorful. Excellent capture Pat.

  22. Cool reflection. I made a connection in Dallas yesterday and it started to rain just as our plane started going down the runway. Now I wish that the rain started earlier so I could have took some shots like these.

  27. With planes and all sorts of strong vehicles around, I'd rather look like a banana too. ;)

  28. These are great shots Pat. Love the second one, but gee, why didn't that guy buy a YELLOW suite?? Don't you love it when you make great catches like this almost by accident? Kathy
