This is pretty much what it looked like on the swings at the rodeo carnival -- a blur of lights and sounds.

The sun was setting as Brad Paisley took the stage at the rodeo, and it streamed in through the cracks in the shades just like a spotlight.

The boats around Clear Lake always turn up covered in lights and other decorations at this time of year. I love it.

You could argue for a while about whether the Canadian Snowbirds are better than the Blue Angels or not -- but I do know that I've never seen the Blue Angels pull this four-way maneuver. Shot at this year's Wings Over Houston airshow.

The Canadian Snowbirds performing at Wings Over Houston. Told ya there were three. (See yesterday for the photo where they almost look like one.)

There are three planes in this photo. Yes, three. You'll see them better tomorrow.

Condensation

The air was very humid the day we went to Wings Over Houston, so we saw a lot of condensation forming off the wings of the fast jets. It was cool.

Japanese Zeros -- replicas from the movie Tora Tora Tora -- recreate the scene of Pearl Harbor at the Wings Over Houston airshow.

This P-47 belongs to the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston so it makes an appearance every year at Wings Over Houston. It's my favorite because of the brightly colored way it's painted and because it's got "Tarheel" in its name. :)
