Great Nite in CNY

[Dutch445]

skipped out of work a little early, got the boat to the lake for an evening on the water,
family showed up with pizza shortly after. the weather was great, low 80s, hardly
a breeze, perfect summer nite!
only had the smart phones, but took some great pictures,,, there was a lot to see tonight!
my copilot:

and then came the fun stuff. early on a small plane cruised up the lake, low, sightseeing i'm sure,
then there was a hot air balloon drifting just south of us,
and to top it all, as i was walking to the truck to load up, a helicopter decided to swing around
the boat launch area, i got a couple pics from where i was, but those left in the boat didn't,, and
the copter ended up circling around and hovered off shore about 200 yards away, down just
a few feet off the water,,, it was cool!

here's a crappy video of the plane cruising overhead,
and then a picture showing the downside of smartphone cameras,
tried to get this beautiful moon tonight, but, not the right camera to do that.
