Dogs are the best are they not? I’m having a great summer so far with my best buddy. Lots of nice walks, exploring, a bit of photography and drone flying. I’m more of a colder climate person, but this summer has been good so far!

I picked up a DJI Osmo Action 3 camera from the refurbished site on the DJI Store. I’ve always used a GoPro from my cycling days and decided to see how the Action 3 fares. Again the product was in as new condition despite being refurbished. I like the magnetic mounting system and the onboard menu. The footage seems to match my drone camera footage, so that is good. I hope to be using it more in my future videos.

The buddleia bush has started to bloom in my garden. I think it is also referred to as the butterfly plant. So I’ve kept my Fuji XT3 and 100-400mm lens at the ready to get a few shots of the insects that are attracted to the buddleia. However it has been windy, so the flying insects have been hiding!

OK this is just a quick update. I know some people are now using AI to write interesting blogs. I’m not a fan of that, I’m trying to keep it real.
