F-18A super hornet dedication pass. If you zoom, you can see the double thumbs-up by the back seater. I also liked the evening light against the gray background in this picture.

In the early 2000's I was seconded to Microsoft as an accessibility specialist for a trade show (BETT) at Olympia in London. Spent a week at the show, and these thumb drives were the popular giveaway for visitors. Kept a couple for myself as souvenirs.

. . . This had to be the best day in our week at Yellowstone! The snow was pure and fresh, the sun was out despite the -5 F temps, the geysers and wildlife were plentiful, and the lake was serene with no wind.

Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

The angle of the wings and my position makes it look like the Wood Stork is giving a thumbs up at first glance.

This lily appears to be giving a thumbs up to the world. TGIF and have a great weekend everybody.
