Embarking on a mesmerizing drone journey over the South Saskatchewan River, capturing the enchanting sunrise and the evolving seasons from an earlier time this year. π

π»π Like this sunflower it looks like autumn has drawn to a close, we can still enjoy the vibrant season we've had. π Here's to hoping for a few more sunny days ahead!
π Embracing the last of those vibrant fall hues before winter arrives! π Are you already in cozy winter mode or wishing for an extended autumn? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Will you be carving pumpkins for Halloween?
You find amazing sunsets at Red Rock Coulee. This is looking south towards Mount Brown, Gold Butt and West Butt in the state of Montana.
These little critters taking a cool drink of water on a warm fall day, their work nearly complete for this season.
Check out this little guy working so hard at the end of the season.
Do you like fuzzy caterpillars? Found this guy on a hike in Waterton.
Happy Monday!
Did you know that the 3rd Monday of October is National Clear Your Virtual Desktop Day. Clean up those icons.
Here's a little fungi for your Friday.
What a fantastic opportunity it is to have a Friday the 13th this month.
The tiny ants working very hard.
Remember the movie Honey I Shrunk the Kids? Wouldn't it be interesting to explore the tiny tunnels and colony they construct?
Top down Tuesday we take another look at the most successful predator, the dragonfly.
This week and until the end of October we will continue the theme of the creepy crawlies or really more the world of small things.
We believe this creature to be a Violet Oil Beetle. They have a number of stages to their life cycle from the normal stages of larva, nymph and imago. First stage larva are known to eat bee eggs, continuing to eat honey and nectar as it moves through different phases of development.
Ending the week with a bit less creepy crawly but still a bit of a terror. The dragon fly is one of the most dangerous insects in the animal kingdom, with a catch rate of 95% making it the most successful predator in the animal kingdom.
If the grasshopper wasn't creepy enough for you how about a spider.
We did warn that something creepy was coming. Ok a grasshopper might not be creepy for everyone but for some it is. In the spooky month of October we promise to post some creepy and not so creepy content.

We would love an opportunity to capture areas like this with a drone and bring a greater view of the mountainous beauty to the world. Provincial and national parks require special authorization for takeoff and landing of drones.
Check out this stunning drone photo we captured over Seven Persons Creek in Medicine Hat. We see the beauty of nature and the outdoor activities in the area such as walking, running, cycling and kayaking.
Seven Persons Creek is part of the South East Alberta Watershed and flows into the South Saskatchewan River.
πΎ Celebrating the beauty of agriculture from above! πΎ

Nice improvement over the earlier model.
Today we announced Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2, a next generation model of the popular Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K and a perfect solution for placing cameras on set when you don't have space for regular sized cameras! It includes the popular MFT lens mount, very low light 4K image sensor and cinematic color science! So it's small, but has the features of a full sized studio camera! You also get 12G-SDI for HD and Ultra HD operation up to 2160p60. It's also possible to control the built in color corrector and lens using the SDI and HDMI connections. It can even record Blackmagic RAW to USB disks! Plus Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K goes well beyond broadcast quality with log gamma, allowing you to create cinematic color corrected looks, all in camera!
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design IBC booth #7.C49 will be available in October from Blackmagic Design resellers for US$995.
