Sunday at Carswell

[hawgwash]

Had an afternoon out in the sun as I think I needed it after all the snow, ice and freezing temps. Here in Fort Worth, it went from minus 17 degrees C a few days ago to 24 C today, that's a 41 degree swing! As they say, "If you don't like the weather here, just wait a while." Sunday's are not usually something to write home about but today was pretty good.

On a Sunday....in 24 degreesC and blue sky: that's just a dream for us Brits! Great shots, looks like some good panning going on there too, thanks for sharing!

[Jackaroo]

Very nice!

Another excellent set, the CH47’s have brilliant light on them

Great set of shots in excellent light. Nice slow-shutter work too.
Estimating perspective, the bird in the last shot appears to be in the path of the C-17 ? Did it escape a collision?
