One day after work last week I made a stop at a local open space to fly my drone. Ideally, I was hoping to get some cool fall foliage pics but the scenes weren’t as nice as I had hoped. Strong winds the day before had knocked a lot of leaves off the trees and it was a bit early in the day so light was harsh. Nevertheless, I managed to get what I think are some pretty cool captures. I am fascinated by just how differently things look from above. Some of the images have quite a lot to take in as you look at them.

Having completed my critter captures for the day yesterday, I decided to put up my rarely used drone and get some shots.

The weather was calm and mild although the overcast skies were kind of a bummer. The overhead vantage point of the drone did provide some cool captures though and showcase the fall foliage that is beginning to peak along the Colorado Front Range.

Pay particular note of the first shot… Can you recognize what is in the water to the bottom middle? Kind of neat.

A bit of an elevated look at some of the color on what was a fantastic day. The leaves were golden, the sky blew and the mountains capped in white snow. My brother got a new drone and he wanted to go out flying and I have rarely used mine so it was a good opportunity to play around. Don’t worry, while the drone stuff is fun, it will never take the place of the types of pics you are used to seeing from me. 😉
