Blue Angels Practice from Seward Park

Anyone who was still working at 12pm today was cheated. Ha! I left work midday to enjoy the beautiful Seattle weather and to catch the Blue Angels on their pre-performance practice over Lake Washington. The papers all say that Jefferson Park is the best place, but I went down to the somewhat crowded Seward Park and found that the F-18's were buzzing overhead constantly.

I had to wait a short time and took a few pictures of ducks, and this Dragonfly, who was an unintended victim of my 400mm super-telephoto lens.

I had to stand in this bush for 30 minutes with a swarm of these bees before I was able to get this shot. Luckily they don't sting unless you bother them.
