Thanks, Nathan.  I hope to get out more as the weather cools off.

Not being as agile as I once was, I shot from near the terminal rather than out near the landing zone, but tracking the jumpers against blue sky was not as difficult as I thought it might be.  I might even get up enough nerve to try the 50-200 SWD.
