Neat pictures I've taken

If I'd taken the second pic in post #1996, I would've squee'd.

One of the cool things about being there is after the landing planes streak past you toward the runway, their roaring sound goes with them, and you hear the air above your head making funny wooshing and rippling wispy sounds as the turbulence in the plane's wake settles down into more stable air. Sometimes the weird sound lasts for as much as 20 seconds or so after the plane passes. Not every plane causes the noise. It must be something about the wing design, the flap settings, or the environmental situation at that moment. If you didn't know the plane created the sound, you would think it's ghosts or something. Very otherworldly.

Really weird looking bug I saw on the outside of the hallway window Sunday. I googled "Weird stick-winged insect" and learned that it's a morning glory plume moth.

Also, it's hard to get an iphone to focus on a window pane instead of the house next door.
