Mug Shot Thursday

I-95, "Kentucky Style"  

Okay folks, as promised here is my second "Mugshot Thursday".  Man oh man did we ever hit the Motherload this time!  

Just joking folks and no disrespect to the Amish men below who were arrested yesterday in Kentucky because they failed to display the bright orange triangle on their buggy because they don't believe in bright colors.  Now here's the question folks, don't the law enforcement officers of this area of Kentucky has something better to do than harass members of a religious sect?  Just saying.

Amish at the Beach

Amish Patriarch at Rehoboth Beach

The name "Rehoboth" means "room for all."  This morning during my walk on the beach collecting stones I had visual proof of that statement.  An Amish family made their way to the beach this morning to enjoy the refreshing ocean breezes.  Of course I had my ever present camera but how to take a picture?

Most Amish don't like their picture taken.  When I lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania I encountered Amish all the time.  Chester County is right next to Lancaster County Pennsylvania which is heavily populated with Amish families.  I would have loved to take pictures of the many times I've seen them in their iconic scenes but I refrained out of respect for them.  However, this morning I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.  The only problem was how to take pictures of them without them knowing I'm taking their pictures.  Below is the result of my challenge:

I love living near the beach.  There is always something interesting happening.  Everybody loves the beach.  It is something primordial.  Even for the Amish.
