Skywatch Friday – Life is Better Outside

Life sure is better when you can get outside and do things!

Launched my drone again from my back yard. I thought the sunset was going to be better than what it was. Better than nothing though.

I pointed the aircraft west and oriented the camera down a little bit and caught the west side of our neighborhood.

Son, Logan and I went for a hike on Turkey Mountain the other day. It was beautiful. We spent some time on the paved trail next to the Arkansas River.

We had a good time.

I went geocaching the other day. The sky was pretty cool, and I had a successful hunt. It was close to residences and I was feeling watched.

Found some more at a neighborhood park in an older part of town. It was an historic park. For one thing it was close to aircraft manufacturing plants during World War II. The men were at war so the housewives worked. There was an old retired guy who looked after the kids at this park during the workday. I bet that was a zoo.

I got lucky and found a very small geocache, It still counts.

I’m linking with Skywatch Friday. Come check it out.

    Good variety of stuff. Drones are an interesting example of tech that has both good and problematic uses–but I love what they’ve done for nature and travel photography. I also love the banner shot of the river and skyline. The fuzzy trees provide a nice contrast to angular buildings. Tulsa really does seem to be a pretty town.

    Life is better when you can get outside! I’m a warm weather person so if it’s cold and windy you’ll find me inside or at the Y.

    True! Life is always better outside city for me. Its been difficult to wander outside nowadays. Hope I find the trigger to frequently travel outside city

    Oh yeah, life is better outside! Geocache must be a nice adventure. Once I ramdomly found a small geochace under the purples of a big tree, but I gave it back, it’s not my game. I haven’t a smartphone for such things…
    Enjoy your weekend out or inside

    I don’t know anything about geocache, so, even such a small object can be ‘target’? and it is not mistaken for litter?

    Yes, life is better if you can leave the house. Beautiful blue skies are a bonus. So is that sign in the historic park – I would love finding things like that. I haven’t considered drone photography but people (including you) get so many excellent captures. Alana ramblinwitham
