  • It’s Goslings! It’s Spring – Really Spring!

    gray wolf productions goslings

    When you live in Portland – winter can be yukky wet [at least for me] and it's not great when winter weather keeps on into Spring.

    BUT – when you see the first few batches of goslings – you sort of forget the yukky stuff and start counting babies. This is a neighborhood activity and we worry when some disappear and are happy when all of them make it to goose-adulthood!

    Geese are very protective parents and you'll see one telling another to stay away from "MY" babies!

    Next should come the baby mallards but they seem not to have produced many in the last few years. And they are not great parents :(

     

    What makes it REALLY Spring for you?

  • Wake Up – I Want to Play!

    I still miss Sheba but having adopted these 2 young kittens was a good thing for me and for them…It's been many decades since I have had kittens this young – and never 2 at the same time.

    Now I know how my friends with twins felt with two beings often on two different schedules.

  • 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….
