A few shots from the weekend's Seafair. Some interesting clouds that made the photography a bit more challenging for someone still learning how to get the white balance and exposure right!

Update: lil guy is off at the rehabber. Some air conditioning perked him right up, and any sound from me on the drive caused him to point his head right at me and open wide.

Got in some PNW birding today at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, about an hour south of Seattle. One of my favorite places, and haven't been for years.

I have flown out of MCO a hundred times and never gone straight east like this over the water. Great view of Port Canaveral but unfortunately right over the launch pads and no good views from my seats. So close.

Yeah, this is part of why I'm a reconstructionist now. If the American system failed because of some brilliant, charismatic, competent, long term assault... I'd still fight it. But we wouldn't be unique.
