This is a new flower for us. They were planted last year, and blooming for the first time. A beautiful flower that grows from a long narrow stem.

Moon Rise over Cooper River
Photoshop to enlarge the Moon and create its glare on the water. In the forground is the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Crossing Gum Swamp
It’s the nicest part of my drive to Four Oaks, where my brother and sister-in-law now live. I stopped and walked onto the bridge to capture this image using my X100 camera and then spoofed it up with Snapseed on my iPad.
Camera: FujiFilm X100 • ISO 200 • 23mm • -167 ev • f/5 • 1/250
Snow Flight
A sub-freezing and short flight of my drone over Moss Lake in North Carolina. Again, I make the videos for the excuse to make the music that accompanies them.
Solitude Over the White
I really like this one. I had to wait until the snow stopped to fly my drone up to take a look. This is our neighbor’s horse pasture. I don’t recall how I did it, but one of this photo’s pluses is the graininess that give it more of a sense of bleakness.

Strange Flight
A short but interesting morning drone flight. The music is produced using a good deal of arpeggio, which always feels like cheating to me.
Autumn Hover
Short drone hover over autumn forest with the camera pointed down.
The Goldfinches are Back
It’s just turned February and the feeders are under attack by a dozen or so Goldfinches, which we haven’t seen in months. They are pretty good at hovering while they wait their turn at a feeding post while others wait in the nearby trees. I caught this guy waiting on a branch in a brisk breeze.
I had to crop the picture pretty dramatically to get this framing and pump up the vibrance and reduce the noise a bit to reach this final.

Archery Practice
This is still my only working self-made bow, 47″ of hickory. The video was taken by my brother, Dennis.
Approaching Thunder Storms
I recorded these video clips with my iPhone and edited them with iMovie on an iPad Mini. The music was created with Music Studio on iPad.
