August 4, 2015. Western Head, N.S. The Drone.

Doreen was sitting reading in the living room when a small machine appeared outside the window.  It seemed to be looking at her.   Then it flew away.  For the first time, a Drone was taking pictures on our property.  We felt as if we had joined the 21st Century.

Tucker was given a drone for Father's Day.   When he was visiting family and friends in Nova Scotia, he took pictures with his new toy.  The pictures are interesting because they are taken from above the action.   All the Ely Family came to use our fire pit to toast marshmallows.  Once the fire was going, Tucker took pictures using the drone.  It was fun watching this little machine zooming all around the area, going high up over the ocean and then over the house.  But it was even more interesting to see the pictures.  Tucker made a video of their week in Nova Scotia.  Interesting perspectives.   One day the Ely family took a boat ride and you can see pictures of the family eating lunch on the boat when anchored in deep water far from shore.   It looks as if the picture was taken from an adjacent boat that was bigger and ten feel away.  In reality, the drone took the picture.  Wonderful pictures that you could not  take without that little drone.  

This was the first for us, to have pictures taken on our property by a Drone.  I suspect it will not be the last.  We have joined the modern world.
