Ruby Meadowhawk Dragonfly

Ruby Meadowhawk Male

These dragonflies are becoming numerous at Gorman. 

Ruby Meadowhawk Male

They are more orange when immature.  I called this one a White-faced Meadowhawk but it may be a Ruby.

Ruby Meadowhawk Female

I called this one a Ruby Meadowhawk Female.

Kissling Tree

Kissling Cornfield

Keith has a tree which I have been watching from the road for several years.  I knew he would let me go back to see it but I just never stopped.  It is located on the tip of the second point of trees on the left.

Kissling Tree

It has pinnate leaves as best I can see from a distance.

Kissling Tree

I am currently wondering if it could be a Walnut Tree.

Kissling Tree

Time will tell.

Mourning Cloak Butterfly

Mourning Cloak Butterfly

This is the first image in my collection of the Mourning Cloak.  Their life cycle goes through trees not meadow plants.  They do not visit flowers and drink nectar.  Instead, they feed on fecal matter.  This one was enjoying the warmth from the pea sized gravel and the sun.  It was feeding also.  It was so close, I wished to move back but was afraid I might frighten it.

Vernal Pools and Bridge

Vernal Pool that I call "My"

There is dragonfly and damsel fly activity at this pool.  The jury is still out on whether it will be a good shooting season there.

GNC Covered Bridge

Walking to the Covered Bridge, you pass the above vernal pool.

Northeast Vernal Pool

This vernal pool is located to the Northeast after you cross the Covered Bridge.  The water level is receding as is characteristic for vernal pools at this time of year.  It is important for the mud to dry out so that the shrimp will hatch.

Azure Bluet Male

Azure Bluet Male

The vernal pool that I call, "My" has had what I might call an algae bloom.  Insects are landing on the algae.  This damselfly did so too.

DJI Phantom 3 Pro

DJI Phantom 3 Pro

The Phantom 3 provides a very stable platform for photography.  I learned to fly with a child's toy first.  I was glad for the flying background but would say that it might not be essential.

View From My Backyard.

My first outdoor flight yielded this image looking south over my house.

I bought it from Amazon.com.  I have long wished that Amazon would provide more information about items they sell.  I think they expect buyers to review their purchases to provide that info.  I intend to do that soon.

View From Tree

I am afraid that I did not read enough about the Phantom 3 before buying.  It turned out that the DJI Pilot app was not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone.  Not knowing that caused the above image to be captured.  It landed in a tree and it was difficult to find.  My Brother in Law, Marty Breitinger climbed the tree for me.  Thanks Marty.

Quad-copter Photography

Gorman Nature Vistor's Center

I have recently added areal photography to my repertoire.  I had wanted to do so for several years and took the plunge.

Gorman Nature Vistor's Center

I have long wished for the areal perspective as an option.  It eliminates the sky and associated lighting problems.

I can even photograph myself from above,
