White daisy with critter

A quick shot of a beautiful white daisy. When I downloaded it to my computer I could see that it was playing host to a tiny critter.

The Little Critter

Many times I am startled to find tiny insects present in my photos that I had not seen with my naked eye. Considering that the entire daisy in this photo is about the size of a silver dollar it is amazing to me that something this small is a living creature.

The Air Force "Thunderbirds" air demonstration team

I am fortunate to live close to Hill AFB which hosts an air show every year. Every four or five years we are privileged to have the Air Force Thunderbirds attend and demonstrate their amazing skill with the F16. We had about 200,000 people show up this year for the event. (The crowd is always larger when the Thunderbirds are performing.) These are a few of the photos I took.

You can imagine...200,000 people = 50,000 cars. We had to park about two miles from the show, and after it was over it took us two hours to get off the base!

Is there anything more beautiful than this?

Flying formation at 400 miles an hour is hard enough, but upside down?
