I went on a bike ride during a sunny, cool morning this week. It was glorious. I stopped here at the Arkansas River as it goes through Tulsa. That bridge going across the river is Williams Crossing, named for the corporation that donated about one gazillion dollars to build it. I saw some people gliding, almost flying across the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is them. They stopped at the western end. Two roller skaters and a scooter. No wonder they were so smooth looking going across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past week, I broke out the old drone and launched it from the backyard to get some skywatch shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can see a front coming through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put this photo through a filter to get some color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day storm clouds were building up. I launched the drone but it started barking at me at about 15 meters warning of high winds. So this is a low level shot of the clouds. You can see that the drone is just a little above roof peak level and below the power lines. When the drone barks I listen to it. I don’t need it flying away in the wind. It almost got away from it once and I went through the recall procedure and it came back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a street level photo looking east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another looking west. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
