Visited northern Washington last month. It was so lovely to escape the Florida heat.









Lots of bald eagles.

Surf Scoter





Summer flowers





I was staying right on the US-Canada border. This made it easy to head up to Vancouver to see Amon Amarth! The show was epic and I got to meet the band!









At dawn's first light- a welcome sight! Much needed visit to the espresso ship after an early border crossing.



More WA pics to come...

I've still got some catching up to do with my photos! Here are shots from the Ft. Lauderdale air show in May.



Canadian Snowbirds













Heritage flight with F-35 Lightning and P-51 Mustang. This was the first public airshow appearance of the F-35.



Brietling Jet Team





Their "Super Ocean" formation



Harrier



Hovering over the sea





Canadian F-18 Hornet





Lastly, the headlining jet team, the Thunderbirds.















On Thursday, Thunderbird 6 crashed after performing at the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado Springs. Luckily the pilot is OK!

Here is Thunderbird 6 doing a high speed pass in Ft. Lauderdale.



It was a great day out, can't wait till next year's show!
