the boys are back in town

That is actually the song that went through my head when I first heard the Blue Angels practicing in the San Francisco skies on Thursday. I love when they show up, one can sense the anticipation for their shows on the weekend. This year I was tipped off by a postman about a really wonderful spot, hidden away from most eyes but with an excellent view.

Fleet Week is a celebration of the US Navy, US Marine Corps, & US Coast Guard and throughout the week you can take tours of the various ships that come into port.
even Canada decided to show up for the party

four of the six Blue Angels; almost looks like they're linking arms
The closest that it came, my shutter speed wasn't quite fast enough for this guy.
Literally takes the breath away.
