This is part of the 52 week project for 2009 where I will be taking and posting a picture a week.
Picture for the week of 5/10 - 5/16.
On my way into work on Monday morning (5/11) I saw this Red Tailed Hawk sitting on the light pole trying to dry off after the rain the night before. This mockingbird kept flying around harrassing the Hawk, even though the Hawk seemed unfazed by the mockingbird.

Peachtree Dekalb Airport here in Atlanta (small private airport) held a Good Neighbor Day air show on Saturday 5/30. I attended and was able to get a few captures of the smaller prop planes (that's all that was there) flying around doing some maneuvers. This was my favorite shot of the day though of Team Aeroshell dropping in from the sky at the end of the runway flying back to the spectators. I just liked the way the smoke behind them looked and how blue the sky was.

This is Olivia who is my mother's friends dog. She wanted a few shots of her out in the yard, so I took some for her. This was my favorite as she looks very happy here and I love the piece of bark flying off the stick she's chewing on.
