While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Cleveland DMV Tries To Thwart Smiling In Driver's License Photos

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Rachel Martin. If you're feeling bummed out that LeBron James is leaving Cleveland, you're not alone. The anger and sadness has found its way into that city's bureaucracy. Remember; you're not supposed to smile for DMV photos. So to make sure that you're feeling somber, one DMV in Cleveland apparently attached a photo of LeBron wearing his new Lakers jersey to the camera. Roni Zemelman posted a pic of it on social media - a surefire way to make sure Ohioans don't smile for the camera. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
