THE CATURDAY CAT (from a Fun Friday!)

The world looks very busy today ~

I need a closer look!

A note from mine Mommy: JUNE was certainly intent on watching something here on the street or in the sky yesterday though I've no idea just what it was.  Until ... oh no, oh dear, meow, meow!  One of the biggest and most exciting week-long events in Baltimore is beginning ~ FLEET WEEK.  And although we're planning to go enjoy much of it at the Inner Harbor tomorrow, had not paid attention to the schedule otherwise.

Shortly after 11 a.m., a booming noise so loud as to hurt ones ears came down on us, JUNE nearly flew from window to kitchen counter to top of the cabinets ... the noise was barely over ... when boom ... there it came again ... and off she went again from the cabinet tops, screeching and into the hall closet!  

Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat over the next 30 minutes or so ... I had pulled the blinds wide open and though my ear drums ached, was thrilled and enthralled as with nose pressed to glass I viewed my own private air show in the blue skies above the city.  Military jets doing acrobatics leaving contrails, twisting, turning, climbing and diving.  Even ducked my head once as one seemed to head straight toward the building before a sharp turn upward!  Not long after, jets in formation doing flybys.  Once it quieted, JUNE came out for lunch.  Only to disappear again around 3 p.m. when a second show began.  Not a happy afternoon for her but a very fun one for the Mommy.  

P.S. we later looked at the FLEET WEEK website and learned that Friday afternoon was planned as the practice session for all the events flyovers!

Needless to say, as good as my I-phone camera might be it's not as fast as those military jets!  All I got were lots and lots of blue sky photos ...
