OK, I may not have deer or cow-mustering, but here are a few pics I shot yesterday since the forum has been slow here. Shown are the dragstrip next to my airport, Mud Island on the Mississippi River, a barge next to the bank of the river and the Memphis Pyramid and St. Jude Hospital.

Yes, but I was unsure how large to make the pics. Ahh....now I see! The limit is 150 Kb. Here are a few larger ones.

These are:

Over Dewitt Spain airport with a chopper hovering on the taxiway....

A view looking east from over the river, showing the new Fedex Forum, where the Grizzlies play.....

Northbound over the bridge connecting Tennessee and Arkansas....

And another view of Mud Island.

Jerry, what...no aerial shots of Graceland? ;^)

Your pictures are great! Please don't think you have to wait until things are slow on the forum to post them. They're a great inspiration to those of us who haven't built or flown yet.
 
yes keep them coming!!!

I remember last summer when I drove through your area on I-40 on my way to Colorado to pick up my Sonex, The roads turned to crap as soon as I cross the big river heading west. Dreaded coming back through there with a airplane on a trailer... But looked like a cool place to fly with no shortage of fields to land in if you had engine troubles!
