Skylane Redux!

WooHoo, now that R. and I are finally in the flying club, I'm starting to get back up to speed in 182s! Thanks for ever to SJM for getting me there and endorsed in the first place! 98Sierra is newer than ol' 64Xray, but I still retain a fondness for that ol' plane, pictured here! (From an SJM, JWN and me flight right before I left Illinois; parked at Dacy Field, one of our stops).

Bizarre Bird Methodically Plucking Flowers

This chatty (feral former pet?), weird parrot was methodically sidling up and down the tree, plucking petals?! K and I took lots of photos, he was such a strange bird! (Artistic shot of the same sort of tree over at Asymptotia.)
