PANAMA CANAL

Well, I'm back for two days of rest and relaxation, and then off again for ELEVEN days......but I'm going on my annual cherry picking venture for three days during that time.....sooooooo..... I'll post today and tomorrow and then be out of touch for a bit. Sorry about that.... Here's a couple of shots I took during my last trip to Panama City, Panama. Got a few neat shots of the locks where a few ships were transiting the canal, one of a volcano on our departure back to the USA, and one of a thunderstorm flying home. Hope you like these photos.

UFO at SOUTH BEACH!!!!

Went to the beach yesterday to relax a bit (been pouring here in Hollywood all day today, so I hit that one just right!), and saw this umbrella that looked just like a "UFO" hovering above the sand. Snapped the photo, photo- shopped out the pole holding it up, and NOW it looks like the real thing. Since I'm from Roswell, NM, home of the famous 1947 UFO crash, I thought this shot was pretty natural. Kind of eerie, you think?????? ;-)

UK to LAS VEGAS OR BUST

Hey everyone.........been on the road for the last six days, but I'm now home for TWO days, and then it's back out for SIX more..........so the postings may be scarce for a week or so. Here's a shot I took of a bunch of "blokes" from the United Kingdom. They flew on our plane to Las Vegas (LAS) last week, and seemed to be having one heck of a good time. You have to admit, they certainly are a motley looking bunch. The passengers LOVED having them on board. In my job, you see just about everything.

HOW TO TELL IF A BOAT DRIVER IS BORED

Yesterday while at the beach, I observed this guy driving his boat down the shoreline with his FEET. Don't think many beach goers noticed this, but I sure did. Amazing what a little "zoom" on a lens will show you..... :-) Maybe I should make a calendar with the funny things I observe at the beach.........I'll keep you advised if I do.

FUN AT THE BEACH

I've gone to Hollywood Beach twice in the past two days. Sure is nice to get out and relax while listening to the soft sound of the waves hitting the beach. Here's a shot of a guy paragliding down our beach. How cool is this? Maybe one day if I get some spare $$$ I'll get one of these. He must have a great perspective of the beach. I've also included some shots of my girlfriend, Maria, getting some R and R (rest and relaxation) from her daily grind of driving......which is usually about 3-4 hours a DAY. Ahhhh, the life of a beachlover!! (I hope Maria's mom is doing well and enjoys these shots!!!)
