   Ah, yes. I remember how we used to race with friends. And also fall on our face trying just that. Good times, good times.

    Reminds me of our youngest daughter waking up one Christmas morning to find a new bike (without training wheels!) and wondering if the “magic strings” coming out of the handlebars helped Santa deliver it because we didn’t have a chimney!

    If you didn’t desaturate, then really good capture Patty. Just the right amount of shutter speed to imply the motion of the wind. Good shot.
