Drone photography Adventure 2021, spectacular views of a dramatic landscape.
Seeing Iceland from above, and from angles one cannot hike to, is both inspiring and liberating! One begins to understand how things are put together – and how little we matter in a geological sense.

Post 2 – The Three Sisters volcanoes and surrounding lava landscape make a great location to photograph the Milky Way. In Oregon, astronomical twilight ended at 10:45pm.
Although the timing was right, the composition was not. The Galactic Center was to the left of the North Sister and most of the Milky Way shot out of the frame. An hour later, the Milky Way lined up just right and 2 meteors entered the scene. It was amazing to watch how fast the position changes when you have a mountain peak as a reference point.

During the dark of the moon in Oregon, one day you can go to the Cascade Mountains for the Milky Way over the 3 Sisters (next post). Then you can go the the Pacific Coast to see the secrets that are revealed when the ocean pulls back at extreme low tides. Here are some colorful tidepool creatures we enjoyed photographing.
Not all that is revealed is alive. Sometimes the receding water makes abstract designs in the sand.
All are fun to photograph.

As April winds down, I’m thinking how happy I was to see so many Earth Month and Earth Day events by individuals, organizations, businesses…
Let’s remember that every month needs the same attention. We still need to do our best to care for the planet, to keep it healthy and beautiful.

In Tanzania in February/March, millions of Wildebeest migrate to have their babies. They follow the rains to the Southern Serengeti to feast on special grasses, rich in nutrition.

The predators are well aware of this and follow the migration. The cheetah was awakened from a nap by wildebeest running by – food!

This cheetah is hungry and has a hungry little one to feed. I’ve seen 2 cheetahs take down a calf, but this one is going alone to get an adult!

Defeated, time to look for something smaller.

She leaves her little one behind for another chase and gets lucky.

She carries the kill along while trying to reunite with the little one but can’t find the kitten.

Unheard of for fear of losing it, she puts the kill down and calls and calls while searching. Finally reunited, they look for a safe place to enjoy their meal.

Looks good, time to eat.

They take turns eating while the other one guards.

We were all worried that the little one was lost. It was stressful. They were miles apart from each other. We stood watch over the kill until they came back. We all cheered when we saw them.
