Skiplanes & Seaplanes | PBY Catalina Flying Boat The numerous PBY Catalina flying boats, one of the most recognizable WWII warbirds, are still being flown today. PBY was the most widely used patrol plane in WWII. Nicknamed the “Cat,” or “P-boat,” or the “Canso” in Canadait, it saw combat in every theater of the war. In the Pacific theater with Its ability to stay airborne for hours and its 2500+ mile range, it served as the eyes of the fleet. Armed with bombs, depth charges and torpedoes, the PBY took the war to the enemy protecting merchant ships from submarine attack and raiding enemy ships using night radar. Still, it will likely be most remembered as a search and rescue (SAR) aircraft that could land in the water to pick up survivors of sunken ships or pilots shot down in combat.
The Back Story This PBY Catalina Flying Boat was on the ramp when I visited Fantasy of Flight located about half way between Tampa and Orlando. They have about 200 restored aircraft including a B-26 bomber, a B-25 bomber, and a B-24 bomber as well as many other WWII warbirds. And, most of their warbirds are airworthy. My time was limited for photog activities, but this PBY was just too cool to pass up.
Fine Art Portfolio | Fire & Ice This scene seemed quietly pleasant with shapes and shadows cast over the new fallen snow. It just appeared while walking along a street.
The Back Story This image was captured with a simple click. The P7000 was new to me so I stuffed into my coat pocket before leaving for a walk on the new snow.

Fine Art Portfolio | Pugs on Ice The Pugs seemed just a bit irritated that they had to go out in such bad weather. Pugs love the snow; ice, not so much. The slipping and sliding, even on the icy grass, put a new meaning to “do your duty.” They gave me “the look” as they were trying to make it back into the house. Black and white makes the night look more foreboding than color.
The Back Story This image was captured late one night after it had rained and turned really cold. The rain froze and it rained ice pellets. The pugs were slipping and sliding around. I was slipping and sliding around. After slipping on my butt, i got back on my knees just as the Pugs were trying to back into the house.
