Welcome to my Memorial Day 2011 flight, where all photos were

shot within the beautiful Garden State, namely New Jersey.  The day was filled with a plethora of visual delights ranging from solar panel-covered parking lots to an uber-crowd packed Point Pleasant beach on the Jersey Shore.

As always, I hope you enjoy the view from above !!!

What a flight...Dad and I never take for granted that we are able to

fly freely over the Garden State, and I can photograph such a vast

array of interesting sites, then share them with the world.

See you after the next flight....
