Random Object Photographs

Cabela's Gun Library yesterday.

The ammo supply there at Cabela's, and at Palmetto State Armory was almost nonexistent.

Got the drone launched today

Pic from today of my gf's garden in Bellingham WA, aka "Still life with cat."

She managed to get the drone aloft for the first time today, after some hassle with getting the FAA permissions sorted out on launching. She's limited to 101' by FAA rules for her location; she went to about 98' which was enough to fit in her approx, 80 x 80' garden without intruding on the neighbors' privacy. She found the nominal 30 min. fly time was quite a bit less when shooting 4k video but she figures she'll be fine at lower resolution.

For a first flight she said it went pretty well, but one thing she didn't expect was having the drone dive-bombed by hummingbirds! No collisions but it was scary.

I can't link to the video, but here's a screen shot. She is the tiny white object at bottom centre, in front of a raised bed. Bottom to top, the direction is the same as the land-based pic at the top. The cat is sitting on the slatted box in front of Sandra.

And back safely on terra firma.

She is seriously pumped about her new toy and will likely be "wasting" a lot of time with it when she should be doing academic work, as she did today.

I was working on a copier at a local water district office and when I was leaving I saw a leaf footed bug on the wall. When I got through clearing the call while sitting in my van I noticed a trail behind her. She was laying eggs. Taken with my work phone.
