Cold but Sunny Winter Day

We had the opportunity to spend the weekend in St Michael's Maryland at this incredible Inn. It was a very unique experience and we had a great time. Too bad it was so cold and windy - we didn't spend as much time outdoors as I had hoped.

Clipper Flying Cloud - PAA

What an amazing machine. The Boeing 307 Stratoliner.

"The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner was the first fully pressurized airliner to enter service anywhere in the world. Being able to fly 20,000 feet higher than the 5,000 to 10,000 foot-altitude unpressurized airplanes a that time, it was said that it could "fly above the weather." It carried five crew members and 33 passengers and had a nearly 12-foot wide cabin for overnight berths. The Stratoliner was also the first land-based airplane to have a flight engineer as a member of the crew."

You can read the Press Release here about the decision by Boeing to restore it:

Home Depot sells millions of these every spring. Have you ever stopped to look at a marigold. Everyone stops to smell the roses - right? But have you ever stopped to look at a marigold? Granted - their smell is not as nice as a rose. Anyway - here's a macro shot - and I think it's an amazing picture and flower.
