There are some days when drones just aren't going to fly - sleet and snow don't mix well with electronics and small motors.

On those days I'm often out with my camera and tripod doing ground based work.

This is a photo from one of those days that almost went awry for the tripod - I had accidentally left it down by the river I was using as a background when photographing wolves. Fortunately it didn't smell of venison or fish and so the wolf let it rest.
