Finally, the 4th video shows a comparison between the 1st (a light aircraft) and the 3th (an apparent unmanned vehicle). Both were filmed from exactly the same spot.

The third video shows another apparent unmanned vehicle. Again with no sound and red light on its underside.

The 2nd video shows an apparent unmanned vehicle. Notice the lack of sound, and the red lights on its underside.
I know, I should have gotten my tripod.

So, I went outside last night, joking that I was going hunting for drones. I ended up filming several apparent unmanned vehicles here in Southern California.

The 1st video shows a light aircraft for comparison. I used a 250mm lens.

It’s time to let go the bird.

Beautiful people of Bluesky!

Behold the delicate charm of this male butterfly from the genus Ochlodes, gracefully perched on a Stephanomeria branch in the heart of California. 🌿🦋

Some time ago, I made a protection for my camera to keep it underwater—the one in my profile photo. It took me some time, but it was worth it.
This was one of the results of all that work. #Abudeduf #Ocean #NaturePhotography #MarineLife #Photography #beach #nature #outdoors #undwerwater #fish #sea

Another photo to delight your eyes.
From my many expeditions to central Mexico, I captured this scene atop a mountain peak in the lush deciduous rainforest of Sierra de Huautla. It unveils the ethereal beauty of dawn's first light.

NIGHT EXPLORER
Since 2020, I’ve been visiting a nearby river and aqueduct at night.
Sometimes, the night brings exciting surprises, like this juvenile striped skunk (M mephitis) exploring in search of food.

Another flower to make this site more beautiful.

From my many expeditions to central Mexico, the wet pines of the Iztaccíhuatl volcano provide a dark trail. The Montanoa genus, a wild daisy native to the country, shines through the darkness.

A HANGING ATTRACTION
This is a flower of the Fuchsia genus. Its design attracts pollinators that do not land on its petals as in most flowers. Rather, these pollinators must enter below or stay flying like hummingbirds. #Fuchsia, #flower, #photography, #flowerphotography
