Mary and I headed down to the CNE today, our plan was to catch the Canadian International Air Show have some lunch take in some sights and head home in the late afternoon. Well it didn't work out that way. We just got home, stayed 8 hours and had a BLAST! It was a gorgeous day and the carnival atmosphere was everywhere. I don't think I has so much fun since I was a teenager! I took some pics, what else is new so here a bit of our day in pictures.

Great shots Ray, but the ones of the planes, did you take those with your camera?  I didn't think it had that much of a zoom lense? confused.gif

Hillar, if I showed you my out of focus shots it would be terrible, the good thing is the program has lots of shots and website addresses to go get good ones. I do have twp Pentax SLR's, old school long lenses and all that are more than capable of taking those shots but they slow me down in my old age.

I see you had surgery on your right ear to have that elbow removed that was growing out of it. In the big pic it's there, in your avatar it's gone!
