We have just had pathetic light here for the last couple of weeks. It is the flat gray of fall/winter that I dislike so much of Washington State. However, the beautiful springs and summers make up for it(kinda)! I have been practicing my flight shots when the light allows it, and this is about the sharpest yet.
