Didn't get the memo--it's still Winter in Utah..

Spent a day in the hills North of St. George, Utah. There are some pleasant lakes there which I hadn't visited before.

Unfortunately, wearing shorts was a bad choice. There was a lot of snow left at Enterprise Lake:

 
I did put the drone up over the smaller portion of the lake:
 
 
 
After Enterprise, I visited Baker Lake, where a social gathering of ducks was under way in the northern end of the lake.

 
So, up went the Phantom:
 
 
There is much more which I will put on my Phanfare site http://divexprt.phanfare.com/2015/ and on my web site's national park and drone galleries.
 
After Baker and Enterprise, I went home by way of Gunlock Lake, which I droned on an earlier trip. http://www.divexprt.com/HDRphotography/Drones/UtahDrones.html
 
On the earlier visit, I flew the drone up from the dam at the South:
 
  
 
This time, the wind was up when I arrived, so I just took some shots from the Eastern side of the lake:
 
 
 
Still, the human-interest moment of the day was the flock of social ducks at Baker Lake:
 
 
A small group of ducks were by themselves in the shallow water along the East shore, so I visited them. They didn't like my company:
 
 
This is a neat area. I'll go up there again soon--when it's a bit warmer!
