So it is so very rare that I can get a decent shot of aircraft in flight. That whole speed of sound thing really thows off my lead time and the focus ability for the sport continuous mode is not gonna happen when the aircraft is far, far, away! But I got one!!!!!! I have to say I'm very impressed with myself that this shot is centered and focused. 
This shot was to represent the 50 years anniversary of Alaska being a state. Aviation has played a pretty major role in our state so it was a good representation.
These two are of the AF Academy Jump Team coming down with the US and Alaska flags.
Then of course the people shot! This is the way most folks look during an air show! I think Delanie desplays perfect form and air show etiquette!
These are a couple of our regular summr visitors. The Stellar's Jay comes by every morning to see if we've filled the bird feeder. I expect he'll give up soon since we don't fill it in summer. There has been a lot of bear activity here lately so we'd rather not find one on the swing set eating the bird food!
The zoo hasn't been a regular hang out but it really should be for us. They have set up the new seal and otter habitats and they totally ROCK! My new camera has really impressed me with the photos it takes (note: it is not me~it is the camera!). I have lots more zoo photos I'm sure I'll share sometime. The kiddos of course love the petting zoo part though there was a super grumpy goat that made the experience less than perfect! The one in the picture was pretty laid back so we stuck near him.
Delanie Flew Up to Junior Girl Scouts this summer. We missed the big shabang so her troop had their end of year picnic and a mini cerimony that day. Here she is getting her patches from Brownies. Funny thing is that vest was huge on her in 1st grade!
