Sunday Scenes

REPEAT MESSAGE
I may be a bit hit and miss with blogs while Joe is in hospital but I promise to visit you all as soon as I can. Fortunately I had a couple of scheduled posts for weekend viewing, after that it's anybody's guess! 

The travelling to and from hospital is very tiring, consequently when I get home all I want to do is collapse on a chair or bed. Hey, listen to me moaning, and I'm the fit one in the family.

Scenes today show the Heron, taken at the local wildlife park.

Plantsbrook Wildlife Park covers almost 27 acres of natural space. It is situated in a suburban housing area with industrial estates and parkland nearby. The reserve has a number of pools, surrounded by woodland, wetlands and a wildflower meadow and is a real oasis for wildlife, all accessible by well prepared paths and boardwalks. 
We are very fortunate to have this facility on our doorstep.

Video, and an opinion

Making a video on the new Windows 7 is beyond me. I tried and was bitterly disappointed that the programme had been made so complicated. I used to fly through making them and was in total control of every move, but now.... well, see for yourself. It's an appalling mess at the end and I could not think how to remove the caption squares that I did NOT want. Why it all had to be changed is beyond me, especially when the original version of Live Windows Movie Maker was so straightforward and efficient.

The pictures aren't great but they were handy to practice with, and the music at the end runs on after they've finished ... all because I tried to remove the caption options. Oh well, better luck next time.
