Had to go to Coupeville today, and the Navy was doing touch-and-goes at the OLF field. These are the EA-18G Growlers - and they are LOUD! Not so great for the folks who live near the field, but it is awesome to watch them. The field is just the length of the aircraft carriers, and they practice touching down, and immediately lift off again. The cloud of smoke shows where the wheels touched, and they are already lifting.

Hi there,
My name is Sandy. My friend,(Mungo Jerry) turned me onto your blog 84 weeks ago today. Your blog was my Sunday morning ritual, reading one month at a time until I have finally caught up. I want you to know how inspirational you have been to me with your adventures, and all the wonderful pictures you have taken. Some days you gave me that extra push to just get out and take pictures. I admire your ambitions to take on a project such as you did - I tried, however,found that everyday life just got in my way too much. Hopefully 2015 will bring me more me time, time to smell the roses,which your blog did so many times for me. Thank you so much for all your effort, it is appreciated more that you shall ever know. I shall keep tuning in every Sunday to see if you have an update. Thank you for sharing your life with me..btw, your pictures are just beautiful.

Thanks, Sandy - your comment really forced me to get back to doing this! I do enjoy it, and I especially love that people who barely know me think so much of my photos and my sharing.

So, I will strive to be a bit more regular this year!

Thanks again!
