It's a beautiful Spring day here

It's the kind of day that says "Come outside for awhile" and so we did. Now the flowers are slightly interesting, but today I needed a bit more pulse-raising activity. I think it was Nicolas' post from Geneva that said "get outside" to me. So we broke open the spare garage and fired up the Elan.
A 20-minute drive down the highway got it all warmed up, the tires round again, and engine eager to work. For 10 minutes we followed a black Porsche BLTZ996 down the road at 85 - his car snarling like a swarm of angry bees and mine humming almost silently. One drawback of this car is its restrained exhaust note.
Of course, that ended with a 1.5 minute stop light, 8 lanes, 3 pedestrians crossing with glacial speed, and so on. Yawn.
But very soon we were at the water's edge, viewing birds, bay, mountains and wild flowers.
We did some airplane-spotting
and of course, some car-spotting
Got in a bit more blue from the bay
Then headed for home, just in time for the 10 - 10 shot.
