Lake Miccosukee – Aerial America Collection

A Laurel Oak Quercus laurifolia canopy on Lake Miccosukee appear as a mosaic from 150 feet overhead. Clouds reflect from a small patch of water as American White Waterlily Nymphaea odorata pads and pond weed cover portions of the lake surface.

This image is a frame capture from one of my first video flights with a DJI Mavic Pro aerial camera platform after passing an exam and receiving my FAA 107 Unmanned Aircraft Remote Pilot’s License. I now join my son as officially licensed by the FAA to conduct commercial flights with drone cameras.
