Today's flight was a bit turbulent at 2,000 feet,

what with the cool temperature, the heating of the

sun, and the approaching weather system from the

west.  Regardless, the trees looked very beautiful

as the budding leaves are now showing, as well as

many other colors representative of this time of year.

As always, I hope you enjoy The View from Above

Welcome to my first Spring 2012 Flight Highlights

post after nearly 1-1/2 months grounded due to

poor timing of good weather and a weekend day

that I had available to fly.  It was bumpy up there due to an

approaching cold front from the west and a developing

low pressure in southeast, but I managed to

shoot ten photos I think you will enjoy...

As always, I hope you enjoy the View from Above !!!
