Today has definitely been stellar in the way of weather. I got a chance to get out and enjoy it this morning because of a photo thing I had to do at a local tennis tournament. I was needing to get a shot from the air so a lift truck was arranged to meet me there. The tennis complex had a number of courts on them I needed to get in the picture and the only way to do it was to get up high. I found three spots to shoot from and proceeded to get the truck into position. Ed, my boom operator - asked if I was afraid of heights. I’m not afraid of heights, just falling and splattering. And it’s really not the falling that concerns me so much, it’s just the sudden stop at the end.

I took some shots yesterday of a gentleman that runs a small local airport. He’s been retired 20 years but took up running the airport to keep him busy in his retirement. He was a joy to talk to - full of stories and wisdom. The facility had a really nice feel to it - sort of a down home friendly kind of vibe if you know what I mean. I may go back out there and have lunch with him one day to just hear more about air travel and how it’s changed in his lifetime.

Spent this evening grilling out with friends. Despite it getting cooler than we were expecting, it was a great time to just get together and enjoy each other’s company.
