Bittersweet

Between squalls today, I enjoyed a flight from Kahana to Kualoa and back, and I took a few pictures to capture the brightly lit landscape and the high clouds. But I was very sad to leave Don behind, his wing drenched by a squall and sent to the LZ when the wind momentarily dropped off in the squall's wake. The pure pleasure of a great flight is somewhat diluted when you have to leave your buddies behind on the way. Pretty pictures are less interesting when there are no gliders in them.
