Icing Encounter: Home from Palm Springs

A hundred miles later, the clouds thinned and despite high winds, the ride remained remarkably smooth. [Isabel Goyer]

Approaching Midland, Texas, the clouds began to thin and we got occasional glimpses of the ground, some of them geometrical. [Isabel Goyer]

The peaks in Guadalupe National Park are spectacular even from 11,000 feet. [Isabel Goyer]

Beyond Midland and approaching Junction, Texas, the combination of late afternoon light and a perfectly scattered and even cloud deck led to the most brilliant show of sun rays I've ever seen. [Isabel Goyer]

Who said there are no straight lines in nature? The West Texas horizon and the perfectly smooth cloud deck say otherwise. [Isabel Goyer]

One of the advantages of the gorgeous silver wings on the Cirrus: they get painted the colors of the sky. [Isabel Goyer]

Nearing Austin, this was my welcome home. Who could ask for more?
