He said, "Oh, this is your blogger friend who takes those beautiful pictures!" <br /><br />Phil was shocked when I told him we had the same type of Canon cameras.

Once when I was flying up to Salt Lake a passenger asked the pilot if he would buzz the Grand Canyon. He had to get permission of course and was able to do it. Wow! Was that ever a neat ride!! We got as low as a passenger jet could go safely. Another trip up there same thing happened but this time the pilot said no or he couldn't get permission or something. :(RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-87628984670955776412011-09-05T01:04:07.610+10:002011-09-05T01:04:07.610+10:00I am so much enjoying your adventure through your ...I am so much enjoying your adventure through your wonderful pictures.
