^Pretty cool. I only get one air show a year, and the weather usually blows when it happens. I've only gone to see it once, and was able to get one lucky shot:

1ms later, and he would've been behind the branches

Nice!

Yeah, pretty lucky that John Sessions and Paul Allen decided to house their personal collections up near where I live. Bonus is Bill and Greg Anders Heritage Flight Museum up in Bellingham.

All three museums fly their planes a lot.

Finally got this spider's back. Usually it sits in the middle of its web with its belly facing where I can take the pic from. Its a pretty spider.

A Mt. Pilchuck hike with the boys. Still some snow up there on the north side with water cascading down in may places.

3.3 miles with a 2400 foot altitude gain in 1 hour and 35 minutes. A 45 minute rest and respite up at the top, and then down again in an hour and 20 minutes. Assuming MyTracks is right, that is.

Charging up the hill in the lower level forest on the mountain.

Halfway up:

2/3 of the way up - the lookout is at the top peak on the right. If you go to the picasa site, you can see it better.

Almost there, one more bend.

At the top:

We look down on airplanes!

The parking lot - the grey spot just beyond the brown spot in the center of the image.

I love the PacNW in the summertime - even if it is only a month long some years....

both bumpers where replaced. When the sun hits them just right you can tell. The color has a lot of pearl in it so I was told.

Smoky/Hazy morning in the Texas Medical Center from all the wildfires burning here in TX... My one minute walk from my car to my building made me smell like a Texas BBQ pit....

BenChi(F4) - you're dressing up those eyes, right (all three of your most recent images)? They're verging on unnatural. Definitely striking.

Doodling around in the garden this evening, waited too long, though and ran out of light. This one came out ok. Not great, but ok.

[ben chi(f4)]

BB, yup.. I'm doing a little dodging and a little burning... nothing too crazy. I normally don't edit my photos all that much, but I have a bit-o-fun with the eyes lately.
