snowbirds

went to the nudie beach to watch the airshow. honest! :-) yes, that was kind of a rude awakening for me. let's just say i saw santa claus suntanning. pretty scary sight, mind you.

'twas a good thing i was in the clothing mandatory side of the beach, which had more interesting characters anyway.


partner didn't want to come with me so i went alone; then he told me later that if he'd known about the nudie beach he'd have come. what a nincompoop!

anyway, here are two of canada's "snowbirds". officially known as the royal canadian air force's 431 air demonstration squadron, the snowbirds are canada's military aerobatics or air show flight demonstration team whose purpose is to "demonstrate the skill, professionalism, and teamwork of canadian forces personnel.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

Great clear photo of the snowbirds! I love the stunning blue sky and fluffy clouds. Have not seen an air show for years, I must try and find one to go to!

Great picture. Santa on a nude Beach, LOL. That is a vivid image.

LOL you are so funny, but I do think you have "nude" on your mind. I think you should get it out of your system and join the photo group doing a "walk about" in October in the nude.(camera only)

Beautiful shot- great contrast between the white and blue. Glad the camera is pointed upwards.
