Overnight we got our first snow of 2020, not a big one, just a couple of inches , but enough to bring some pre-Chrismtas cheer!  The tree above, in my neighbors yard was caught by surpise being one the only trees left on my street with some fall foilage hanging on.  Since fall ended any excuse to make a few shots is welcome!

 

 

We hang garlend on our front walkway and decorate it with Christmas bows, the first snow added to the drama!

 

 

On our back deck we hang out pine wreaths.

 

 

My favorite decoration for the season, and any season, is Chester, layng on the couch with his favorite pillow, a gift from Jack and Linda Graham for him!  I’m still enjoying the memories of a wonderful Thanksgiving and all the blessings in my life!

 

I hope you feel as blessed today!

 

Blessings,

Wednesday, November 25th, Thanksgivng Eve.  Sherelene is working for the last day this week so, as usual, Chester and I are hanging out at the house.  A storm front is moving in around noon today and the winds have already picked up, but I decided to fly the drone off the back deck and see how it did in the wind.   No problems, it was rock steady, but Chester saw it fly for the first time and he couldn’t figure out what kind of bird made that sound!  It was fun and I got just a couple of shots and some video.  I’m really enjoying being able to get back in the air, with out the risk to life and limb!

 

Hope  you are preparing ot have a wonderful thanksgiving with those you love!  I certainly am!

 

Blessings,

This morning I went out for another flying session this time to The University of the Cumberland’s.  First stop their football field, They’re the Patriots, so I thought Riot Field looked interesting!

 

The red seats in the bleachers were calling me!!!!

 

 

I love the blue roof and the sprinkler shadows at the water park close by!

 

 

 

The water slide from above was interesting.

 

 

More shadows, what you get when you shoot at 9:00 a.m.

 

So another morning and I haven’t crashed yet!

Short Flight 5 had to shoot these red umbrellas!

This morning I took the drone out in great light to find some graphics.  I found a lumber yard and thought maybe, just maybe, from a new perspective, it might just be a picture.  You can be the judge, but I like it!

 

Just up the road was a decorative rock dealer, another take off and some more images!  I started with a  reference shot from the ground and then another set from above.

 

 

The joy of getting back up in the air has rejuvenated my excitement to image making.  I hope you are enjoying coming along with me

 

Blessings,
