Default Bobcat, wildlife, dinkies and planes

From the land of the Bluenose.....work, sleep, dig! Work, sleep. dig! Now two new elements are added into the equation....work, sleep, dig, umpire, play ball. Yes it is that time of year.

Well managed to squeeze in a dig and did my part to save our ecosystem by donating my flesh to the hordes of blackflies that were starving at a local park. Hats off to Deep Woods Off!

The park/campground was quite busy with familes out strolling or biking along which didn't seem to fizz this busy little rodent who totally ignored me.

Played the old game of "Find a coin at each site" which helped keep my mind off the flying vampires. Hit a path between two sites and out popped a bobcat which made my day at least till I uneartherd a fine pair of dinkies.

With quota in pocket (52 coins @ .89) I took one last look at the lake and headed home to prepare for work.

Started airside patrol this day and got to add a pair of photos to my plane collection.....could use some help in identifying these two puppies!

Leave you with these few shots from around the airport as the sun was going down. Happy hunting bouys.

At first I thought the big one was a C-5 Galixy! Yep he be right C-17!

The other I got lucky on. The number is on the side. JetPhotos.Net Aviation Photos: HK-4240
