Janie&Bob At Killdeer Point on China Lake on January 7, 2021.

2022-01-09 14:16:41 UTC

I have lots of pictures of Janie and her wicked good 2020 visit to China Lake... and the rules... 2021 only. Notice the Lone Pine on Killdeer point in the background in this view to the North...

Ice almost out of China Lake

bob404 — 2022-01-09 14:22:27 UTC

This is one of my first pictures after getting FAA drone pilot license and my tiny "Midget" drone. She weighs just over 1/2 pound. From above the deck looking South, Killdeer Point and the narrows into the west basin.

Columbine under the Deck

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:13:56 UTC

This is one of my favorite flowers that has grown under the deck on China Lake and likely for decades before. This one seen in late May 2021.

Brothers Chuck and Bob

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:21:21 UTC

Chuck makes regular pilgrimages to China Lake and Killdeer Point. This time in the late Spring of 2021. Part of the OConnor Clan Brotherhood! Appreciated!

Fav... Sunset over Bradley Island

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:26:05 UTC

One of my best "Midget" drone shots... from above my house Showing both basins of China Lake, The Point, The Narrows and the only island in the west basin.

Tall Ships get ready to Set Sail...

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:31:43 UTC

These tall sailing ships spent the night in Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan's Island off the coast of Maine. "Midget" got up early to get this shot. June 29, 2021

Burnt Coat Harbor Light

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:37:06 UTC

This Lighthouse was restored and continues to function. One can climb to the top and stand outside the round glass top to get a great view. Of course, "Midget" gets the best views.

Day Lilly and Yesterday...

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:40:58 UTC

I love these flowers that grows on Great Oak Lane and by my garage in August. This picture shows the Day Lilly and Yester Day Lilly and evidence of Lillys past. Enjoy!

Bob & Marilyn welcomed by Lilja

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:46:41 UTC

Lilja was our favorite of all the Trolls at the Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Lilja holds the scent of the FLOWERS of the tree. Highly recommended.... Find and enjoy all the Trolls of nature.

Hidden Point on Killdeer

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:51:16 UTC

Midget gets this November shot of Killdeer Point. Notice the hidden underwater sandbar that will make its airy appearance when the lake level is drown down later in the fall. Also this gives another great view of the Lone Pine on Killdeer.

Great Blue Heron taken for Granite

bob404 — 2022-01-09 15:54:59 UTC

This Great Blue Heron was taken for Granite! On the shore of a pond at the Maine Botanical Gardens. Recommended! We did not hear the Great Heron call.
