I have not taken a picture of a flower in almost a week, and now I imagine that some of you might be saying, "I wish Lidljo would get away from the airplanes."  This is the last post of the Air Zoo and after today I will have to start finding some new pictures to post.  This is the lobby of the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo.  In the two buildings there are a lot of planes.  Some are more modern and some are older versions.  You can view them from  the top or through the wings or on the walls.  There are also some things at the Zoo that are  not planes.

 This is something for the bi weekly challenge: A bird in flight

While vacationing in Colorado I saw these men having the time of their lives playing with toy airplanes. What a wonderful hobby to have in the mountains! So, be it, for my sequence action shots.

Starting November 13th, I took a roadtrip across the nation - beginning in New Orleans, LA, and ending in Seattle, WA. I honed my skills at shooting my digital from moving vehicles - such as this shot of a breezy (experimental aircraft) shot from an autogyro (another experimental aircraft) in Lafayette, LA. On a road trip through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and up the Left Coast, one can see unusual things, such as a snowstorm in the Mojave.

Shooting from the car was the norm on this trip, like these pictures from West Texas of a tree and an oil well. This is a railside grain mill also in West Texas, which we left to drive through the middle of nowhere and observe a very memorable sunset in New Mexico. Occasionally, I'd get out of the car and get to shoot Elana and Bisous having fun on a beach in the redwoods, or an eerie moonrise. There are many beautiful shots of the redwood forests, but I picked these mossy trees and this tiny mushroom for an illustration of scale.
