Birdwatching...

It seemed my family was off to a bad start this morning when Princess Grace managed to drop a glass bottle of vinegar onto the travertine-tiled kitchen floor. Glass was everywhere and the house reaked of vinegar. I immediately called my boss to let him know I'd be an hour late. No, it wouldn't take an hour to clean up the mess, but according to the bus schedule if we are not out of the house by 6:50 AM I have to wait 7:40 AM... But what do I do until then? That's right... I TAKE PICTURES BABY! YA!!

So, it was 7:20 and Grace and I had 20 minutes to kill... Just enough time to see what's happenin at the airport! (I am blessed to live about 1 block away from Williams-Gateway!)

Many people don't know this about me, but I am fascinated by airplanes, flying, and anything in the sky! Luckily, my work bff and cube neighbor is too. He's the one that clued me into the fact that the runway is easy to spot from the picnic tables at the airport...Naturally, I had to refer to him to find out what type of plane I had captured this morning:



T-38 Talon Hangin Out at Williams AFB



From there, he showed me his favorite airplane website (airplane-pictures.net) which make my shots look hella-crappy, but whatev... At least now I'll have the opportunity to learn the names of those massive birds I love to watch!

Military jets, kites, hot air balloons...I'm beginning to see a pattern. Great pic!
