Memorial Day Weekend ~ Welcome Summer

Hi guys! Mo and I spent the past couple afternoons watching the Navy's Blue Angels [fighter jet stunt team] practice and perform over my beach. click pix to enlarge

The Blue Angels are always a thrill to see. The nosedives from great height heading straight down to the beach are heart-stopping.

And they're fast! I end up with a lot of blue sky pix like this.

The show days are fun but the best are the practice days. The jets fly low over my beach! With a roar. I don't think the photos really show it, but these jets are low and close. Far closer than even a low landing airliner. It's quite a thrill.

Then today the skywriting plane wrote God Bless Our Military, instead of his usual Free Drinks for Ladies Happy Hour at Joe's Bar. I was so touched and proud, remembering my dad who was an AF pilot.

Other fun things...the geese and their babies on the golf course this week! Yay!--- the DEC police didn't get the babies this year.

And at a friend's BBQ last night. I'm not a beer drinker but this smelled amazing.

A local summer ale brewed with presumably local honey. Great label with our classic beach banner sign over the ocean being puller by a BEE. Who is, lol, a seaplane, see the skids?
