I was on a road trip through South Dakota and the Black Hills when this begging burro came up to us looking for a free handout. A few minutes later we saw a van pull over and start feeding him Cheetos.

What a great group of images! >>Fun stuff.

The variety of subject matter is wonderful and fascinating to see. Thank you all for entering.

Hard not to love, a blue sky, green trees and the sublime landscape enhanced with people, dogs, clouds and endless vanishing points.

Old cars, blowing grass, motor cycles, drive in restaurants, begging donkeys and the evidence of a road kill. This is perfect road trip material in B&W or color with both thumbs up.

Mix in a giant cowboy with a self portrait version of a late afternoon shadow. Stir in a carload of bread together as you sprinkle in some school kid balloons for color. Whip all ingredients with power lines while you admire a shinny classic car and a wood canoe. Together this is a recipe for an American Road Trip served up in a basket with fries in a drive in window tray.

Thank you photographers for entering and showing your work. I wish you all could come.Thank you Secrets for making this all possible.

I am looking forward to the Road Trip!
Gas up the truck.
