High Fly By Skywatch

This is one of the eagles as the jet is about to fly over

The same eagle after the fly by

I think this one is my favorite. This is the other eagle after the jet passed and left it's trail into the clouds. Like a cloud firework explosion and tracer

Here we have the whole Pennsyvania Columns beneath a beautiful sky, if you look further down the road you will see the "Nude Tree" and cabin. (enlarge if needed) This is the Pennsylvania Columns in Valley Forge National Historical Park. I was fortunate took capture a jet flying over this eagle. I think I must have picked the perfect day because we've had plenty of rain lately.

Please see my last My World Tuesday post if you haven't already to get a bit of historical background about Valley Forge. I would just like to add that the Continental soldiers got much needed training in early 1778 from a Prussian army officer Baron Von Steuben. They were also helped greatly in the Spring of 1778 by France's alliance with and formal recognition of the United States as a sovereign power. The expected arrival of the French greatly altered the British war plans and triggered their evacuation of Philadelphia.

As I write this my back still aches, but my spirits are lifted by all of the kind words and support from the nice viewers of this blog. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thanks also for the help with the Munich and Prague trip. As it stands now:

Prague Nov 26 to Dec 1st,

Salzburg Dec 1st to Dec 4th,

Munich Dec 4th to Dec 11th. Plus maybe a few day trips.

This will be our 5th trip together to Europe, but this will be our first time to Germany, Czech Republic and Austria. We really look forward to the Christmas markets(Thanks Thérèse!), but not the cold. Thankfully we look forward to our California trip not long after we return.
