Today's weather was ever changing, from a friendly sky as shown in the first picture to an ominous and threatening sky a bit later in the flight. In some instances, rain could be seen in the distance as you will see in one of the pictures.

 All in all, the flight lasted about 1-1/2 hours and to fly very close to the rain clouds (sorry, no pictures of this) was a real treat indeed.

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

#1 - Threatening clouds mixed with abundant

sunshine.  That pretty much sums up the flight today
