Finally some flying weather

The forecast looked good so we loaded up early, stopped at Subway for sandwiches for lunch and headed for the flying field at Toledo.

It turned out to be perfect flying weather today, except for the bees. The Threshing Bee with its food vendors attracts bees every year. They come back afterwards looking for it and are pretty aggressive. Five other flyer's showed up also and we had a really nice day. I got in 11 flights before it started sprinkling

As always, Mt Rainier provided a beautiful sight in the distance. It had its cap today which some say means rain is coming.

We went home on the West Side Hwy and we spotted these two dead trees. They looked so eerie we had to turn around and come back and take a couple of pictures.

I was out taking pictures of the full moon and took this one of my shop. I am pretty proud of the way it turned out so I had to include it here.
Have a safe Labor Day Weekend.
