Karen, aka Spinning Sands, hosted a community rake for the day after Thanksgiving this year. The raking was at sunset and the golden light was so beautiful. I also took some really impressive videos with my Mavic Mini drone, however, the ocean claimed the drone right at the end of the evening and all of my footage with it. It experienced a mechanical failure, flipped over, and dropped into the ocean. I was hoping that when the tide went out I would find it so that I could at least recover the SD card but I wasn’t that lucky. However, the still shots I got were some of the best I have taken of her spinnings.
