Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

That's a lovely scene. Are there any privacy concerns flying a drone over other people's property? Does your state or county have any regulations regarding the flying of drones? I'm genuinely curious and not trying to be funny.

Here is information as well as links to answer your questions.

Basically a drone is like any other aircraft and you can fly most anywhere, there are rules about flying over people for safety reasons. Many parks have rules about drones and many only control take off and landing within a park. It is a big subject, more than should be discussed here, just follow the FAA website and take the rather simple course.

Frankly, I don't know, and seeing as I have no plans to randomly fly around, I'm not particularly worried about it.

The drone was over my property, directly above my house at an altitude of 75-100 feet (I didn't look at the telemetry).

The only way I'd intentionally fly over someone else's property is at their request. I've done that once to get some pictures of roof damage for a neighbor.

This jumped out of a tree, right past my ear. Happened too fast to even flinch. Smooth Green Snake, I think.

Decided I wasn't getting any younger so if I didn't buy another motorcycle one of these days I might not have the opportunity. Well... picked up a new Nightster Special for cruising the country roads this summer. It "sleeps" beside the B2601.

I've never been into motorcycles but it sure does look nice. Did you pick up that shiny trailer too so that you can haul the bike around?

Thank you for the compliment on the cycle. As to the trailer, in the fall of 2021 we traded the BX2230 in on a B2601 and needed a bigger trailer to accommodate the longer tractor. Yep, it might be called on to haul the Harley if I don't keep the rubber side down!!!

Spanish moss?

Yes, and the 50+ year old oak growing the frame.

Stunning! The colors and pattern are amazing. I don't know what that pattern does for the moth or butterfly but it sure works for me.

Cool snake. Could be a rough or smooth green snake. Rough has slightly keeled scales.

We have a good amount of Rough Greens where I live (Deep East Texas), but I've caught both smooth and rough (as a kid) in Independence KS (South and East of you) along the Verdigris River. Great pic!

cool.

The coachwhips fall out of trees around here, they are like 5ft+ in length, enough to get you really excited and/or mild heart attack.

A couple years ago I had 2 drop from the tree, one landed on me then onto the floorboard of the tractor, it turned at looked at me for like ever(probably like 3 seconds, lol) before it slid off the floorboard onto the ground.

Seems my old buddy Bob showed up last night. I hadn't seen him since last fall.
Nothing on my cameras overnight, no skunk, no coons, no Opossum..
Only Bob. I guess everything else knew he was in the neighborhood.

Bob (or Bobbie) looks really healthy.
