A couple weekends ago I went down to SW CO. Hiked a couple 14ers and make a stop to one of my favorite hikes and places in CO. The wildflowers have been so pretty this year! cc welcome!

Yesterday I posted a color shot taken a bit later when the sunrise color was at it's best. Still gray at this point so a B&W conversion was in order. I think the lone kayak fisherman makes it.

Sunrise looked like it had potential this morning so I drove to the other side of the lake to fly my drone. Nothing spectacular, but a nice view down on a kayaker fishing (tiny dot upper right in the lake). The color only lasted about 10 min., just enough to capture this 4x4 pano before the...

I haven't flown my drone around home much since returning from the SW a couple weeks ago. Sunrise yesterday looked promising so I drove over to the other side of the lake to take off. In my excitement I forgot to check the ISO, which I have only increased once from the base 100, but the last...

I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning when I looked out the window and saw the sky turning gold. Grabbed the drone and hustled to the back-yard to look around and this is what I found a few hundred feet up. Note Mt. Rainier in the distance. Click through for larger gallery image.

Hi, This past weekend I wet over to Park City UT to celebrate I knew there were not going to be any fireworks and I was ok with that. I did chase a lot of waterfalls. Here is one off 150. cc welcome.

My wife and I had never been to this beach in southern Oregon before our recent trip. Nice place, not many people, and supposed to be good for finding agates (Debbie found one). Mid morning light led me to convert to B&W.

I had stopped to shoot the glistening water as we drove from the beach to have dinner in Bandon when this bird flew by and I luckily included it.

Another drone view of Cape Kiwanda, this time looking down into what I call the bowl where I shot (on foot) later that evening.

I was excited to fly my drone at Cape Kiwanda, but it was so windy at sunset I chickened out and shot from the ground. These were late morning shots, still windy but not so gusty. If you click through to the gallery view in the first picture you can spot my wife and I standing by the fence on...

Cape Kiwanda is my favorite spot on the Oregon Coast . The sandstone formation doesn't look special from the beach - you have to hike up onto it to find the cool stuff. We spent a couple days here, these are from our first night. I was lucky to have it to myself on this mid-week evening.

I got my drone up today for some views of my favorite spot on the OR coast. More to come.

We lucked out with some nice clouds at sunset the night we spent at the SP on the OR coast.

My wife and I started a 10 day OR coast trip with a visit to Silver Falls SP (not on the coast). A fantastic 7 mile hike with 10 waterfalls was the attraction. These are of South Falls from our first evening. There are nice trails behind 3 of the falls including this one. drone view drone...

Out and about today for a couple hours after the storm... CC welcome.

My wife and I were X-skiing at Lake Wenatchee yesterday. Just brought my iPhone since we were cruising in the trees except for this one view point of the lake.
