From the Moon to the Gulf of Mexico

I totally forgot to post my Full Blood Moon photo last week, so I am doing it now. The internet is forever right?

A morning sunrise shot in the neighborhood.

One afternoon I noticed low thin clouds late in the day so I went home and launched the drone from the backyard and I’m pretty happy with this.

Orange Beach

I got a ton of skywatch photos on our vacation to Orange Beach, Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico back in August so I’m still posting these.

Skywatch Friday – Late Afternoon in the Neighborhood

I launched the drone the other day. It wasn’t sunset time but there were clouds and light so off I went. This is 40 meters over my backyard in Tulsa, Oklahoma, looking west.

And then I turned the drone 180 degrees to the east and pointed the camera closer to the ground.

And, as you can tell, I played with the photos a little bit. I used a program called Dynamic Auto Painter and used one of their watercolor presets.

Skywatch Friday – Staying Home or Going Out?

On our street looking west

I get lots of skywatch photos from my front and back yards, and that is great except…

The Overlook on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain

I like getting out as well.

On our street looking east. I love this mackerel sky.

Another day, looking west again.

We have no daffodils in our yard though. Gotta drive to them.

I always love a flag snapping in a strong, cold, spring breeze.

The school where I tutor a first grader is honoring all their teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers, janitors, tutors and everyone else who helps out.

The other day the knee was feeling strong so I fired up the electric mower and got the job done.

On another day the wife and I went to a big box store and bought some cushions for our patio furniture. The cushions were cool but these roosters take a better photo. Can you believe stores let you walk in and take pictures of their stuff? Some stores say no photos but I ignore those signs.

The afternoon after I mowed, I decided to go take a hike at Turkey Mountain on a little bit more challenging trail. Only a mile long but the killer was about 300 feet of elevation change.

Here is some switchbacks on the 300 ft climb.

You can tell I really liked the bridge since I took two photos of it.

Staying in or Going out? You need to do both!!
