Well, today was a lousy day for photography! It only made it up to 56F and the wind was a steady 20MPH with gust up to 30. The sun was trying to shine through the mostly cloudy sky, but was only able to do so intermittently. Once minute the light was like from a big soft-box, a few seconds later it was direct sun.

While the wind can make it a little difficult to stand still and hold a camera steady, it also can make for some interesting fly-ins and landings. I got treated to a couple today and was able to capture a few decent shots.
