There was something in the air, the clouds were parting, the sky was filled with so much color. The rain had soaked our beautiful dunes, the evidence was everywhere you looked. From the wet dunes to the puddles along the road. I was on watch to see how deep the water really was driving through it..

The challenge of what the new road held in store with the rains that had swept through.
But the fact was Mr Red was waiting for our arrival.. Sitting in the tree watching over the new road with the greeting that it was simply going to be a fabulous weekend. The word Epic kept being tossed around.. Wow, just WoW we had no idea that no truer words would be spoken..
Ifly was taking a turn at playin while we were at the Taco and he found Mr Red floating along..

Some how he managed to get Mr Red to float along towards us as we were chillin.. I zoomed in and was shaking with anticipation of Mr Red floating over us..

and as Ifly kept on cruising with Mr Red all I could think was, Mr Red it would be funny if you PooPed on him, cuz I'll get that shot LOL....
Seriously though Mr Red was so close it seemed as if he was thinking of letting Ifly touch him.
That wasn't the only time we were that close to Mr Red and Ifly. After we hit the dunes again Ifly spotted Mr Red sitting on the dune watching the valley below. And we slowed down to see what Mr Red was going to do.. Yerp he lifted off and Ifly followed.. I think Mr Red was getting a little annoyed as he was trying to lose Ifly in a witches eye ... Luckily the speeds were slow so nobody was injured.. I could almost hear Mr Red laughing...
The guys definitely got many opportunities to see Mr Red cruising with us..

Seeing Mr Red on our rides always gives me a good feeling, like it's all good omen..

we saw Mr. Red on every ride! each time i saw him, i thought to myself, 'that guys following us, just to make sure we behave or somethin'. i LOVE seein Mr. Red out there, i always wave to him and say hello. when he floated over us at the Taco, it was surreal it seemed. he just hung out there in the breeze without a care in the world, enjoying the most beautimus place in the world we know as Glamis

Hey John I always say hi when I see Mr Red as well.. But WoW every ride and it wasn't just one of our beloved Hawks, several sightings each ride. They were sure out and about for a cold winter weekend.

Did a little work on Mr. Red. A little better view.

Definitely awesome to see Mr. Redtail soaring right above us many times

Thanks for the great rides Mark

nice shots scat

NOW THAT IS WHAT SLAP IS TALKING ABOUT. Way to go Scat, Ifly. He always seems to be there waiting for you two, and that is a very good sign. He was probably checkin out the new road, making sure all was well and to be careful. Mother G was probaby in a choppy mood cuz of all the rains, and Mr. Red was at attention; making sure everybody was safe.

Great shots, those sure give Slap a big big smile.
