Phoenix July 2023 - The Return

Thursday, July 27, 2023

Got packed up this morning.

Returned home by this afternoon. It really is quite pretty from above. 

You can see the Minneapolis skyline in the center of the above photo if you squint or enlarge the photo ;). Some of the Minneapolis chain of lakes are just below downtown - Cedar Lake to the left, Lake of the Isles in the center, and Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) to the right. 

Flying over Lake Harriet. 

My alma mater, Washburn High.

You can barely see Lake Hiawatha in the distance to the left. Lake Nokomis is to the right. 

Phoenix July 2023 - Quiet Day

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 

Quiet day today. Dianne and John got back from their travels yesterday. They took Brenda, Irv, Dale, and me out for brunch this morning to celebrate our anniversaries. 

The rest of the day was quiet and restful. The above photos were taken around 7:30 p.m. As it became darker we could see lightning in the distance. Didn't get any rain here though.
