Black Hawk
I witnessed this army copter doing the limbo beneath blue skies, a little bit lower now.
When the Black Hawk lowered itself to the ground I was on my way to its landing site. Somewhere between my house and the landing site I became a one woman paparazzi without shoes armed with said camera. Frantically I looked for my target.
Two miles down the road I spotted thin layers of smoke rising from the asphalt. Broken tree limbs and leaves spattered the backroad. There between a small grove of trees I spotted Black Hawk and its occupants. Three or four recruits are searching an open field for... something.
1:44 pm. My drive by shoot is a success.

Great descriptive piece! I love the idea of you out photo hunting on the spur of the moment in bare feet!
What fun!! Looks like it was a success!
How cool!
What an interesting photo shoot. Wonder what they were looking for?
Wow - what a surprise encounter. Loved your Flicker pix. too, Michelle.
How strange! Hey I came looking for you for STSS. You were AWOL today! (I need to send out the black hawks again, I guess. Hee hee.)
"Somewhere between my house and 1237 I became a one woman paparazzi without shoes armed with said camera." = GREAT LINE!
That was an adventure! I picture you in camo running through the woods, rolling and diving behind trees to get your shot.
How fun! I can't believe you went barefoot though!
moonshadow i have no idea what they were looking for. Or, maybe they were just training. I'll probably never know.
