Look, Up In The Sky
by John Weckerle
As I was hand-watering the trees I bought last year from the Edgewood Soil and Water Conservation District (with harvested rainwater) at around 8 a.m. this morning, I heard a loud, droning sound coming from the East. Curious, I looked out over the land below, and for the life of me, I could not figure out what was making the noise.
Finally, I looked up, and found my explanation. By the time I got the camera, it was fairly far away. It was certainly something to see! I’m not sure if all the residents in the area enjoyed it quite as much – especially those who might still have been trying to sleep. Then again, how many people sleep past 8 on a Sunday?

Mr. Weckerle,
Could it be that you live somewhere near the Edgewood airpark?
Whie we consider your point (8 A.M. on Sunday morning), maybe we should also consider the Las Alamos/Santa Fe commuter who takes off from the airpark every week day at 5:45 A.M. with considerably more noise than the flying powered parachute you referred to.
By the way thanks for the excellent picture
No, I live almost at the border between Bernalillo and Santa Fe Counties, and it was quite a surprise to see it. I wish I’d gotten to the camera sooner; it went almost right over the house.
