Kayak Break

We were out on a bike ride last week at Wild Dunes when we took a little break near the intracoastal waterway. While we relaxed, I put the drone up to explore the marshlands between us and the ICW. That's the great thing about the DJI Mavic Pro. It's so small you can take it with you everywhere — even on a bike ride!

We came across these kayakers taking a break of their own just as the weather started shifting and the water turned into a spooky greenish pink. This almost looks like a sunset photo but it was captured around 10am. Rain started to move in so we quickly brought the drone home, packed it up and raced home on our bikes to beat the rain. 

Peaceful Marsh

This marsh sits between Figure Eight Island and the Intracoastal Waterway that runs down the East Coast. It's an incredibly relaxing place to enjoy the sunset, even if it is January and there's nobody else on the island. 

This photograph was captured with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.

Marshland

The marshes of Figure Eight Island — located just outside of Wilmington, NC — are amazing. The next time I go, I need to get a small boat and work my way though each of the little creeks rather than rely on my drone to find the perfect spots.
