… in little more than five hours it will be the drive down to Lake Pleasant and hopefully a good morning of shooting … the lake is at its highest levels of the year and within a few weeks they will start draining it for use in agriculture … most of it anyhow. Bringing my 24-70 lens down with me too so I can kind of do some landscape type work from the boat.
The shot above is from my trip to Filoli Gardens last month … wild turkeys roam the property and I was lucky enough to see them as we were driving out … amazing the number of creatures we get to see!
The shot below I found in some old folders and it shows my fuel tank almost full … an average of 3.36 kts of lift and only 153 feet to go until full … not supposed to bust 18,000′ without contacting Albuquerque Center … the San Francisco Peaks are just above the nose … It was a strong day and we flew a 500K … propeller feathered and of course, engine off.
Have a beautiful day … smile and make a new friend today … at least keep breathing and smiling!
Ted
Let me not follow the clamor of
the world, but walk calmly
in my path. Give me a few friends who will love me for what
I am; and keep ever burning
before my vagrant steps
the kindly light of hope.
