Showing me around the box house.


Inflatable ball. (Good for rolling over little sisters with.)

Green for a brief moment.

Contrails 5.22.09

Flying Oceanside 5.09

The general idea.


Not a very nice look on my face, but great background. Thanks, Christine, for catching my flight.


There I am headed toward the beach. It got really good in time for the next flight. I was in the air for 40-45 minutes. Nice.


Checking out Area B at Fort Stevens on the way home.


A last look out at the ocean before heading inland.

Not Flying Oceanside 5.09

CJ, Christine and Chris checking out some marine life.


Some prehistoric-looking molluscs.


Rocks.


For scale.


Impressive trees at Cape Lookout.


Big Trillium.

Blanchard 4.09

A human windsock with a little Wolf dog at his feet. That's Murdoch watching Jan's first flight on her new wing. I should have taken a photo of that launch. What was I thinking? Sorry, Jan!


Eagle's nest.


Green Skagit Valley.


Out behind the Longhorn.

Blanchard LZ Dog 3.09

He's always dirty, the Blanchard LZ dog. And a bit over-exuberant.


So strangely exuberant that he inspires these "What is he doing?" kind of looks from bystanders.


This day we humored him by playing ball. He saw my apple as a ball, stole it, and we played with that too until he ate it.
