I’ve been enjoying my October so far. The weather has been good and I have been doing a lot of hiking and wandering. Above is the sky over Lake Bixhoma south of Tulsa about ten miles. I love it there during the week because nobody else is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a photo taken by “cousin-in-law” in western Oklahoma of Angus cattle on their ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this is at Martin Nature Center in Oklahoma City. I stopped there for a short hike on my way to pick up son at his college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve shown these chairs before. The City of Bixby repurposed the old auto bridge across the Arkansas River to a pedestrian bridge and added all sorts of extras such as these recliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And of course I had to try them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is the view I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"History<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bridge ties into Washington Irving Park in Bixby where the man camped during his tour of what is now Oklahoma back in 1832.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here is sculpture of the man. This is part of an outdoor amphitheater. The park is another good place to go during the work week cuz of hardly anybody else being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this always makes me think and ponder. This is one of the girders from the World Trade Center that were destroyed on the attack on America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’m really enjoying the moderate weather. How about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late night bonus content – I flew my drone for a little while this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"drone<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Roughly a little south of northwest. All these were taken at about 150 feet elevation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking almost straight west <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly a little north of southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A really big cloud was passing over Tulsa. This is looking almost straight south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little bit north of northwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost straight north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I flew the drone in “periscope mode” in other words I launched it straight up from my back yard and just rotated it and snapped a few pics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
