"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Blue Angels

If it's early October in San Francisco, it's FLEET WEEK....and that means the Navy's Blue Angels are soaring and roaring across the city and over my house!  It's LOUD, it's not fun for animals, my home shakes, rattles and rolls, but it still amazes me to watch these skilled pilots fly up and down and over and under at speeds just under the sound barrier.

I captured these shots as they *rehearsed* yesterday.


There are six planes in total....but they fly most of the time in fours..with the other two zooming off in opposite directions.  I don't know if you can *embiggen* these....

No "Angels" in this shot....but this is the Golden Gate Bridge from my roof..... the "Angels" do fly over the Bridge, but even using a zoom on my little camera, you wouldn't have seen them.

As you can tell, it was a glorious, sunny day....  lovely October!

Love,
