  • Bottoms UP!!

    Could not resist running for my camera today… it was like watching  synchronized swimmmers

  • Sheba the Cat

    These two are sort of making friends….

  • Sheba and the ducks

    Sheba the cat loves her duckies.  When she hears the words duck or duckies or hears them quacking she wants OUT! 

    And then they play this game.

    The ducks never go far from the boat ramp and actually use it a lot for "lounging"  ever so slowly sliding into the river if the cat or dog gets a bit too close.

     

  • My alarm clock: aka Doug’s duck

    duck

    Every neighborhood needs a town crier or a roving alarm clock – doesn't it? 

    If you miss having one in your area, come visit ours :)

     

    My neighbor, Doug, fed this duck once and the duck has returned every day  and quacks at Doug's house for more food.

    And as Doug lives right next to me, I too am serenaded every day.

    Also – the ducks are not afraid of my cat or dog [more on cat and ducks in another video]

  • 5 Traps That Stop Me From Using “Me” Videos On My Blog


    There are many traps that keep me from making videos for my blog. 

    Here are 5 of them.

    Trap 1 – Video is much too complicated

    This is the first trap I overcame.  Video can be complicated – but it need not be.

    I used to work at a cable access station and had to learn to use all sorts of complicated equipment and programs to upload a video, digitize it and then edit it.  It took hours to do and sometimes more hours than I liked.

    Now I have 2 cameras that take video and I use the small less expensive one as that video is easier to upload to my computer and all I then need to do is some quick editing on imovie.  The other is a film camera and that makes for many extra uploading steps – so I use that one more sparingly now.

    But still – I don’t do any “me” videos – why?

    Trap 2 – Editing takes so long 

    Yes it does – or can.  But once I got past the original learning curve on transitions and other things it actually became fun playing with editing.  And I have edited a few short videos on outdoor topics. 

    [And imovie makes editing so much faster than the FinalCut program I also own.]

    To read the remaining 3 traps – see blog video traps – my article on ezinearticles and then come back here and let's chat about it….

  • Dog meets gaggle [of geese]

    Great day today so I took woof [Sam] to the school yard for a run.
