Memorial Day 2010 snap shots!

Memorial Day Weekend 2010 we were blessed with outstanding weather.........Saturday and Sunday were the kind of outdoor days when one felt an urge to take pictures of something, if only, because this gorgeous weather had been a while in coming and we wanted to remember it.......

Getting down to the cabana at Malibu, before the rest of the family, we went for a stroll along the beach to Point Lookout and the Jones Beach Inlet.....over on Jones Beach, a few miles to our East, the annual Memorial Day Airshow was taking place....at 2 PM the feature of event, the U S Navy Blue Angels flying team, were just making their appearance....



The Blue Angles C-130T Hercules support aircraft fly over....



The photo journalist arrives too!


Over Pt. Lookout beach planes of the Blue Angels team appear.....



Here comes three more......


I've got them in sight!!!


F/A - 18 Hornets  # 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 arrive.....



While the Jones Beach venue was miles away the spectacular show was in front of us, too....


With 150,000 spectators at Jones Beach, others take to the water....


"Just a minute guys, I was here first, let me in the show"

One picture like this makes the walking and waiting worthwhile....



"Can we get in the show, too?"



Pt. Lookout, we salute you too!!!



The US Navy Blue Angels six member flying team



Precision flying at approximately 700 mph......



A veteran enjoys the show....


Up, up and away!!!!


Farewell to the south shore of Long Island.......
