Marge... that woman's bum is looking at me!!!

41C Keele bus... somewhere north of Eglinton
5:47 p.m.

The woman on the left had Homer on one side and some pre-school kid on the other. My jaw dropped as I sat down and saw this because I thought it would have made such a beautiful shot. Of course, this being a 3/4 full bus, I was too chicken to ask for a shot of all three.

I pulled my tiny Optio out anyways and tried sneaking a pic of just Homer... but because I was facing west in the late afternoon the sunlight shining into the lens made the image far too bright to do anything.

After a few blocks fidgeting with my thumbs, I saw the woman begin to gather her stuff together. Cussing to myself, I scrambled to sneak just one single shot in, and just as I clicked the shutter the woman holding the yellow bag got up, adding much needed movement, at the same time the bus went into the shadow of a building... taking care of the lighting.

Viola!

For context, here is the shot I took a split second afterwards.
