What model drone do you have?

What model drone do you have?

The DJI Mavic Air, it is my first drone so I can't compare it to anything. This thing is awesome, just fun to use. Simple to fly for never owning one. The 4k video quality is very good. The picture quality is not bad also for something flying in the air. The size was the selling point for me. It is very small folded up and with the feature set it has is outstanding. I would recommend it.

Cool. I bought a DJI Phantom 4 several years ago, I bought mine just before they came out with the Mavic series came out. The Phantom 4 is a great drone but in hindsight, I wish I had held off and got a Mavic, the more portable size would have been a lot more convenient, especially when traveling abroad, the Phantom is just a little too big and heavy, and with the new drone laws they are proposing here in Canada it puts the Phantom in a weight category with drones that weight over 1 kg - 35 KG, which as you can imagine comes with much stricter regulations than the under 1 kg weight range that the Mavic is in. Anyway, I guess I still have the option to pick up a Mavic,,,,,, maybe one day..... Meanwhile, the Phantom still works great once it's in the air.

Thanks. That is a pond born fish. At least I don't remember ever picking one out that looked like that.
The last time I bought fish was in 2015. Well not counting the fan tails for the new hot tub pond. Just picked them up.

Does this still qualify as a pond?
Probably not.
Still searching for bentonite in a province where it's presently used as something to seal shut oil and water wells.

Yes pond to be!

Nope.
We're putting up a 4000 sq ft fence for the dogs that they can safely be outside.
I'm more excited about that than the pond.
Should be completed in the next 2 weeks.

Rainy day yesterday but the green is starting to go away.

With temperatures increasing here, damselfly nymphs are emerging from our pond to transform into adults and mate. In the mating pic, the brighter male is in front, reaching back to grasp the female behind the head, while her abdomen is extended forward, connecting under his thorax. I apologize for the graphic description but I find their flexibility amazing.
