Lightning
Lightning and Lily got their summer haircuts yesterday and look much trimmer.
Thunderbirds
The Thunderbirds were flying over the Air Force Academy for the graduation ceremonies this afternoon. As I brought Lily and Lightning home from the groomers, I saw lots of people getting ready to watch from businesses, decks, parking lots and side roads. (People no longer try to watch from the freeway shoulders, fortunately.) Since we live in the valley due north of the Academy, I saw part of the show from our deck.
I pushed my kit lens about as far as it would go for this one. This wasn’t one of the years when they flew over our valley so low that one could practically read the numbers on the fusilage. Probably just as well: Lody (the thunder phobic Collie) thinks the Thunderbirds live up to their name and was worried enough as it was. It took the poor girl an hour after the flyover to stop panting and pacing.
Extreme Sunrise
I’ve been going back through my folders of digital images and doing some pruning. I found this photo of a sunrise from December 2008 which I never posted.

Hubble’s Final Service Call
The Big Picture at Boston.com has some fabulous photos of the final service call by the Shuttle Atlantis to the Hubble Space Telescope. Bad weather has postponed the shuttle landing until Saturday.
