Last summer we had a bunch of ugly nearby Forest Fires and numerous resources including Water Scooping planes were brought in to assist.
I went up to Cochiti reservoir, on the Rio Grande to get pics of them scooping water.
Unfortunately they had the entire lake locked down and I couldn't get close enough to see the scooping.
So here's a BOMBARDIER CL-415 climbing out loaded.

That is truly heartbreaking.
A beerfait.

I worked a lot of fires over the years and watched the various aircraft do some amazing stuff. These folks have a really dangerous job, but they save a lot of property, and make fighting the fire a lot less dangerous for the ground pounders.
Here's an Erickson Aircrane snorkeling out of a cattle tank from 2006...
Another Aircrane climbing out after using a snorkeling tank back in 2008... note the rotor coning... she's heavy!
Here's a 737 on a bomb run from last year. The fire was down in a canyon so it's not really visible, but it was running straight towards I17. The burned area in the foreground was already out (mostly).
This is Milo, my gf's neighbors' black kitty, who comes over to visit. Looks very sweet, but he's semi-feral and really only interested in cadging food. Sometimes he gets along fine with Izzie and Charlie-Of-Epic-Whiskers and sometimes not. If the cat door is open, he just trots in and sometimes disappears.
(Addendum Mar.11. During my Skype conversation with my gf this morning:"Milo, get out of the bathtub!")
I took this through the sliding door this morning. We observed each other for a while, but when I opened the door a crack he scampered off over the fence.

I showed this to Ruthie as an "aww...look" thing.
Two minutes later she found it on Amazon. It will be here Monday.

This picture of a Hawaiin warrior re-enactor was taken during our 2011 50th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. The 3D effect was added to it by Photoshop magic.

My Swiss friend's youngest grandson is in Patagonia and sent me this photo from there.

This is a picture I took of the more-than-a-century-old Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee Arizona. Around ten years ago, my wife and I purposely selected a room known to be haunted. A jilted lady of the evening had committed suicide there in the early 1900s, and years later in the 1920s, a convicted felon was trapped and shot to death by police there.
I can attest that strange things happen in that room. When we woke up that morning, the bathroom floor was spattered with blood. REAL blood. We wrote it up in the journal the hotel keeps to record such things, and there are hundreds of entries in it dating way back in time.
The room we stayed in is the middle one of the 3 corner rooms pictured.
