I don't know how this one came about. It must have been the wife taking this one showing the natural beauty of the landscape and the ugliness of the back of my head. At any rate, this was along the Needles Highway in South Dakota near Mount Rushmore. Needles Highway is the same as Highway 87, which branches off of Highway 385.

Again, along the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tennessee, this is an old tobacco drying barn.

Taco Tuesday! Have a great day friends!

In spite of Texas being right next to my home state of Oklahoma, I don't seem to have many pictures taken there. This is another from the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. A number of us photographers seem to be drawn to photograph dead trees.

Good morning folks.
We are taking my Mom back home (Grand Lake) tonight. She has recovered from her fall and pneumonia. It’s been a rough 5 months but she is excited to go back home.

Have a great day.

Sounds like good news!

6 of us rented a tri-toon this morning to motor out to the end of the runway at Pensacola NAS to watch the Blue Angles practice.
Some of the flyovers were around a 1000 feet above us. The roar of the jets was amazing.
Incredible show of piloting skills.

Grew up in SoCal, and the very first air show I attended was at El Toro Marine Base. Later wound up at Nellis, where the USAF Aerial Demonstration team, the Thunderbirds, was based. Honestly, I think the Blue Angels do a slightly better show, but I've loved them both. I was also there when they had the 4-ship accident that forced the Thunderbirds to transition to the F-16 from the T-38's. Yep. I'm old.

We talked about that accident today. They flew into the ground waiting on a command to break if memory serves me. Tragic accident that’s never been repeated.
