55. Oh MAN - you got it going on

I cannot imagine, I simply can't, how it must feel up there when you're in charge of some of the action and also have a camera and a creative eye.
That pink swipe one made me absolutely gasp, and immediately wish you had caught a bit more of the curve at the top for timeless perfection.
The cloud ones remind me of the best flight I ever had: In a little 4 or so people plane from Fort Myers to Key West. The clouds were so majestic, so huge, so in your face upright and tall - and we just flew all around them and through them.
After rummaging blindly for my gear, because I could not for a minute take my eyes off it all, I realized my battery was dead.
Thanks for listening, and thanks for these gorgeous photographs.
