Strength

"Good timber does not grow with ease; 
the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."

Remember, even a plane takes off into the wind.

  1. Thanks Karlene! 900/1500 for me but its the journey not the destination anyway! Besides instructing is so much fun and quite rewarding. Haven't lost site of flying jets though.

  8. ...and taking off into the wind makes for shorter runways.

    Leave it to me to destroy the moment with a smart-ass remark. Ha!

  9. Reminds me of a walk on Quadra Island. And a sad song, chick song :) : "Tall Trees in Georgia" sung by Eva Cassidy! Really pretty.... My tall tree pictures are the ones at home...the ones I sent you are mostly this trip.

  12. Tom, Taking off in short runways never destroys the moment! We'll be looking for more of those remarks. You know I love them.
