Notes

Road cruised this one and put it in a bucket overnight for photos in the daylight. Mostly because someone drove up on me as it was crossing the road after I had already stopped for it. They wanted to know if I was keeping it because they didn't have one yet and wanted to take it home with them. So I put it in the bucket and pretended I was going to keep it. Needless to say, after getting photos the next meorning I released it in the same spot.
