Birdie's First Flight

First Flight

Our footprints (our posts) are mostly for us. Documenting for ourselves where we have gone and what we have done. The sweet moments. The fabulous views. The times we wandered together.

We are happy to share with anyone who is interested, but when the rocking chair replaces the hiking boots, My Lovely will be flipping through these pages.

Amy is a scrapbooker - or was. Now technology has made everything digital. And our new toy, the drone, is, we hope, going to capture a different perspective.

So this footprint is about "Birdie's" (the drone) maiden flight. A simple thing,
us leaving the house. My Lovely piloted the drone to capture us leaving. (Well, I tried...lol...I got a photo...I'll do better next time...learning curve.)

The interesting thing (to me) is that the drone has the technology available that we could have simply put it out there and told it to follow us from any angle. But we are old, and technology deficient. It was easier, for now, just to fly it. And that is what she did.

I have to give credit to our friend John Chosay. He brought his drone to our fish fry. He took a group photo with his drone. And then he compared it to a selfie stick. He said that you could put the camera anywhere and get the shot you want.

SOLD!!!

We have a new horizon. Let's watch as My Lovely learns how to catch new perspectives. Watch as she (and I, she hopes) learns to fly this thing.

We hope everyone enjoys this. We will.

Edit from Amy....this was supposed to be an "us" toy! Pat has to fly, too!!Meer informatie
