I haven't posted any deer photos for a while.

EDIT: Just realized that this is photo 200 for me in the series.

I try to post a single drone photograph, no more than once a day, as often as possible. It's taken me since 12/19/2022 to reach 200 images.

I try to find images that will "add something" to the existing collection. Some photos are included, just because they are interesting or unique (not necessarily great photos).

Nice use of music with this drone video. Often, I cringe at the music put with drone videos, but not for this one.

A lot of work went into the editing of this.

This was from about a week ago on a pretty cold day. It's warmed up in the last week and today there are many more small patches of open water along the edge and in some of the cracks in the ice.

I've posted roughly 198 photos over the last 14 months. See them all here: https://dronetim.simplo.site/gallery

I'll have to look for something special to post for .

I drive by this field so often and have wanted to take a photo for a long time. Today was the day.

I just finished "True Dectectives: The Night Country." I thought it was interesting and worth watching.

I loved seeing Jodi Foster again, but I'm not sure this is her best work, or maybe I just didn't fully get her character.

I recommend that one not overthink the plot. Just enjoy the mood and characters.

I just caught this one fresh today. Said both I AND the eagle.

Shogun is great. I remember loving the novel when I was a kid, though I can only remember a few things now. lol

I’m less surprised that fast food restaurants are doing surge pricing and more surprised that it took them this long to start. https://www.foodandwine.com/wendys-introducing-dynamic-pricing-8600506

@sillygwailo

I'm not surprised they are trying this. I'll be a bit surprised if it works and they are still doing it 2-3 years from now.

Seems to me like the kind of change that consumers may not accept. We'll see...

Another small town in my neighborhood. This is Deerwood, Minnesota.

Finished True Detective season 4. Overall I enjoyed the dark and moody atmosphere and the performances, particularly by Jodie Foster, Kali Reis and Finn Bennett, but I thought the momentum caved in (pun intended, for those who've seen it 😉) at the end. The revelations in the final episodes felt rushed and unnecessarily far-fetched.

I was more impressed by The Terror season 1:

Wow. 16 years in, and Florida DrupalCamp still delivers the goods.

What a fantastic weekend!

Keep up the good work. I'm sorry I was unable to attend this year, hoping to be back next year.

Slow day of birding, only got 7 species in an hour. The most interesting photo of the day is probably the big shiny aluminum bird.

On The Winter Shore

I stumbled across this lighting, at this angle, on this particular house this evening.

I very much like it.

This one is a bit more urban than most of my photos, but not too urban. Suburban, maybe?

Traveling without cell service today has been an adventure.Thankfully there was wifi at the airport, but arranging for pickup without cell reception was... interesting.

Thankfully I made it to the hotel and my cell reception is back, so now it's time to enjoy !

Look, I'm just going to be sad for a while and it's okay if you don't want to follow me while I'm going through it. No hard feelings.

I have always tried to just be me on social media. I am not a highlight reel. I am sarcastic, flawed, tired, & trying my best to not be a shit human. And now I'm sad.

Downtown Crosby, Minnesota. My favorite local brewery is in there in the middle.

The Cuyuna Mountain Bike trails are off to the left and straight ahead.

@stpaultim@fosstodon.org avatar

@mlanger

Fair point! ;-)

Mountain bikes are still moutain bikes on the flat plains of Iowa.

Mountain bike trails are trails designed for mountain bikes, even if only Minnesota mountains/hills/bumps. 😎

These specific trails are built on the piles of tailings left over from open pit iron ore mining.

Despite what you are seeing in the image, the following photos were taken very close to downtown Crosby.

@mlanger

I understood and appreciated the teasing. The same thought occured to me as I posted the image. I have been teased about the flatness of Minnesota in my drone photos before.

It was still irresistible to respond. :blobcatcool:

"The hubris astonishes. Death is coming." Jacqueline Novak's comedy special "Get On Your Knees" is breathtaking and wonderful. I love that she soars intellectually and has no fear in asking her audience to join her for the giddy flight.

Whose quote? Are you personally endorsing this show?

@robcottingham

Silly me. You would think that by now I would understand how quotation marks work.

I misread them. Reading your original post is much clearer now.

Thanks. It's a strong endorsement. I will be coming back to you if I don't love this show that is apparently about blow jobs.
