A great selection here, VJ. I love the variety. Your soaring birds are wonderful, and so is the bee.

I thought so too. Not sure what type of plane it is. A local man repairs planes, so there are many test runs happening of different one.

VJ, I love the bee pic as well as the synchronized flight. Since we are see too many planes fly over, the first one I can do without. I hear one now. Keith
