New around here

Was hanging out down at the airport lake and saw a new addition to the collection –

floatplane

Kinda cute. Hung around for a while. Then it was time for takeoff. UP –

up

And AWAY (with one of Boeing’s finest off in the distance) –

That’s all we got for today. Hopefully more tomorrow.

Dinner Cruise

Stopped by the park after work cause the sun was out. All the usual suspects were there –

Although it’s getting quite cool out, getting a sunset snack was the hot ticket today.

Nice work duck.

And that’s why they call him…

A Red-tailed hawk –

Makes sense to me.

Always interesting stuff to be found.

Watch you like a hawk

 

This one wasn’t so sure he liked me getting so close while he was having lunch –

I wasn’t so sure I wanted to get any closer after seeing how he eats his lunch…

Looking good bird. Thanks for being reasonable and not ripping my face off.

You’d never know

It’s November? Felt like May today. Maybe late April. Not November –

Well, it keeps the citizenry and the Chamber of Commerce happy, so roll with it.

No photo today

So a few from the airport a couple weeks ago –

 

antonov-ah124-one

antonov-ah124-two

antonov-ah124-three

antonov-ah124-four

antonov-ah124-five

antonov-ah124-six

antonov-ah124-seven

 

Ya don’t see that every day. Unless maybe you’re in the air transport business. In Russia. Then maybe you do see that every day. Anyway, it’s an Antonov AH124 and it’s quite large. And on a rainy, windy day, when you’re standing on a grassy hillside, it just might knock you on your tail when it takes off.

Pretty cool.

Waiting your turn

The lineup has rules, respect the vibe, listen to the boss –

It’s so nice when everyone is on the same page…

 

*Not even remotely a decent photo, but I thought it was funny anyway.

You’re welcome duck.
