I bought a used DJI Phantom 4 and am starting to learn the many things that there are to know about flying it and using the camera. So many things! … [Read more...]
No Critters But…
The trail camera got a pretty cool black and white picture of an oak tree that was split in half by Hurricane Charlie but survived. … [Read more...]
Coyote Again
The coyote showed up again, wandering past my Japanese persimmon tree. The streak of light is likely an insect flying near the camera and lit up by the flash. … [Read more...]
