Hi Paul, Taking the pic was just a reflex. I didn't have to roll down the window, as it was already down, and had that been part of situation I may not have made the shot. Once I took it, I noticed a woman (mother, neighbor) standing nearby, and she asked me if I took a pic of the kids. I told her I did, and emphasized what a lovely, tranquil scene it was, noting that it reminded me of a Norman Rockwell painting. She smiled, I bid her adieu. I then realized what a hassle could ensue, and got outta there as fast as I could This was right near where I was stopped by the police last year, and I realized that disappearing quickly, getting "over the border" to the next town, might be a smart move.
